QTI, Telsy and Sparkle secure a high-capacity link by QKD in the metropolitan area of Athens
QTI, together with TIM Group’s companies Sparkle and Telsy, successfully implemented a high-capacity link between two data centers in Athens, secured with Quantum Key Distribution (QKD). This achievement demonstrated TIM’s ability to deliver QKD secured connectivity services on an existing network.
QTI’s QKD systems to secure communications at the G7 Summit 2024
From 13 to 15 June 2024, the city of Fasano, Apulia, hosted the 50th G7 Summit. For the occasion, QTI’s QKD systems were used to secure sensitive communications.
QKD public demonstration at “Marconi. Sulla rotta della Scienza” event
On the 13th of June 2024, QTI performed a live QKD demo on the occasion of the event “Guglielmo Marconi. Sulla rotta della scienza”
High-Dimensional Quantum Key Distribution for the Internet of the Future
QTI contributed to the first demonstration in realistic environment of a quantum communication with multidimensional quantum states over special state-of-the-art optical fibers conducted at the University of L’Aquila, Italy. The results are published in Nature Communications.
QTI organises the Workshop “From Quantum Astronomy to Quantum Communications”
On the occasion of the celebration of the 90th anniversary of the birth of the Italian physicist Tito Arecchi, QTI, in partnership with the CNR-INO, organised the exclusive workshop “From Quantum Astronomy to Quantum Communications” on 18-19 December 2023 in Florence
Unveiling the National Quantum Strategies Worldwide – Part II
The 2023 has been a flourishing year for national governmental quantum initiatives and a number of national quantum strategies have been adopted. This blog post aims to investigate these Strategies’ content and how QKD technology is addressed.
Unveiling the National Quantum Strategies Worldwide – Part I
As the world moves closer to a quantum future, countries around the world are adopting national quantum strategies to both try to take the lead in the sector and open up to international collaboration. In the first half of 2023 alone, seven countries either adopted or updated their national quantum strategies.
Quantum Randomness
Randomness is involved in different domains of modern society. It is a very complicated concept, that has been vastly exploited using techniques coming from classical physics, which is a deterministic theory. Quantum technologies can solve this problem because quantum mechanics is intrinsically probabilistic, that is the behaviour of quantum systems exhibits inherent randomness.
Quantum computers and their threat to modern cryptography
Quantum computers exploit the laws of quantum mechanics to perform calculations, in principle, substantially faster than classical computers. The security of today’s cryptography will potentially be broken, in the next future, by the upcoming quantum machines.
A Glance at the Second Quantum Revolution
The possibility of explicitly addressing, controlling, and detecting individual quantum systems has led to the Second Quantum Revolution.
