Honeywell today announced a new Public-Private Partnership with the European Space Agency (ESA) to provide Honeywell’s Quantum Key Distribution Satellite (QKDSat), an ultra-secure telecommunications satellite that helps keep the exchange of sensitive information secure and private. The partnership supports Honeywell’s alignment of its portfolio with three powerful megatrends, including the future of aviation.

In a collaborative effort by GRNET, NKUA, Nokia, EvolutionQ and ID Quantique, HellasQCI has recently published a paper highlighting the successful demonstration of a fully-managed, field-deployed, three-node Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) ring network.

LuxQuanta participated in the third multi-vendor live QKD demonstration organized by the PETRUS consortium, this time at the ECOC Exhibition in Frankfurt, Germany. This latest demonstration brought together an expanded group of QKD and Key Management System (KMS) providers, presenting a sophisticated, real-time quantum key distribution network and practical use cases.

The CDTI (Centre for Technological Development and Innovation) has awarded Sener the phase 2 contract to develop a quantum key demonstrator for LEO orbits, within the scope of PERTE Aerospace. This is the first Spanish quantum key distribution (QKD) mission, and its development is critical for the future of communications security.

Quantum Optics Jena (QOJ), a pioneering startup in the field of quantum technology, today announced the closing of an €8.5 million Series A funding round. This investment underscores the growing confidence in German quantum technology and its potential to revolutionize secure data transmission.

BT Group, Equinix and Toshiba today announced they will provide quantum secure connectivity at two prime colocation Equinix data centres located in London’s Canary Wharf and Slough. Customers using the Equinix data centres (which can provide equipment, space and bandwidth to multiple organisations securely co-located in the same data centre) will be able to connect to BT Group and Toshiba’s quantum-secured metro network and trial the transmission of data, protected using Quantum Key Distribution (QKD).

ID Quantique (IDQ) is delighted to have contributed to JPMorgan Chase‘s successful implementation of a high-speed quantum-safe and crypto-agile network (Q-CAN) over 46km of telecom network in Singapore.

The recent findings from the Technion and its partners highlight a critical weakness in the security of communication links used by industrial controllers. As these controllers are central to the functioning of our essential infrastructure, safeguarding their communication channels is imperative.

Juniper Networks, a leader in secure, AI-Native Networking, today announced a strategic investment in Quantum Bridge Technologies , an industry leader in Distributed Symmetric Key Exchange (DSKE) for post-quantum cryptography (PQC) networks.

Terra Quantum today announced a significant new initiative to study the feasibility of developing a quantum-resistant network for the U.S. Department of the Air Force (DAF). Leveraging advanced post-quantum and quantum cryptography will make unauthorized interception of transmitted data physically impossible.
