We are excited to announce that the DemoQuanDT project has successfully entered live operation! π Over a 900+ km quantum-secured network across Germany, between Berlin and Bonn, we demonstrated real-time Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), including dynamic routing of quantum-secured connections.
π Live Demo in Berlin
At the official demonstration in Berlin, representatives from the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) witnessed the system in action, showcasing how QKD can be integrated into modern communication networks using additional components like KEEQuant’s key management system KMS1 Evaluation Series. This marks a major step toward a scalable and interoperable quantum-secured infrastructure.
π Why is this important?
The project’s focus on carrier network integration and the underlying architecture aspects provide a blueprint for similar and future quantum networks. A prominent example is the EuroQCI infrastructure spanning across the European Union. Additional features like cross-border networks and inter-carrier-network links are supported .
π A huge thank you to all project partners:
π‘ Deutsche Telekom | π Adva Network Security | π¬ KEEQuant | π‘ Rohde & Schwarz Cybersecurity | π Hochschule Darmstadt | π TU Darmstadt
This is a major milestone in building a quantum-secured future for Germany and beyond! π
