Deutschlandfunk Podcast “Was hinter Quantenkryptographie steckt”
Was braucht es noch um Quantenkryptographie zur breiten Anwendung zu bringen und unsere kritischen Infrastrukturen abzusichern? Frank Grotelüschen vom Deutschlandfunk hat dazu Ulrich Eismann im Rahmen der sehr hörenswerten Podcastreihe “Quantentechnologie im Realitätscheck” interviewt. Die kurzweiligen sechs Minuten werden heute Nachmittag 16:35 ausgestrahlt und sind jederzeit als Podcast verfügbar.

QuNET+ProQuake kickoff @ KEEQuant
Two days of lively discussions about creating a QKD Post-Processing stack for the well-known protocol families of CV-QKD, DV-QKD, and EB-QKD. We are very happy to get into the details of the project with our partners: FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg , Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München , Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute HHI , Fraunhofer IOF , Technische Universität Darmstadt, and VPI Photonics. We will keep you posted on our results in the next 3 years, so stay tuned!

EuroQCI Kickoff in Brussels
We spent a great day at the European Commission‘s offices attending the EuroQCI (European Quantum Communication Infrastructure) project’s kickoff. All 26 national testbed projects were showcasing their plans for the first round of testbeds. The 5 industrial projects’ representatives presented their ways of improving QKD technology from EU-27. In this group, KEEQuant is coordinating the SEQRET project (stay tuned for more details) and its main goals
- CV-QKD from EU-27
- certifiability of CV-QKD
- scaling CV-QKD through photonic integration
Finally, the overarching PETRUS project showed its scope. Exciting times ahead for quantum cryptography in Europe!

Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften
Cybersicherheit mit Quantenoptik – geht es noch komplizierter?
Wer sein logisches Denken ausschalten und es gleichzeitig auf Hochtouren arbeiten lassen kann, ist im Vorteil. Dass das gar nicht so schwer ist und was das mit Quantencomputern zu tun hat, will euch das Team von KEEQuant an praktischen Beispielen beweisen. Denn viele komplexe Lösungen beruhen oft auf faszinierenden und einfachen Ideen.

QUANTUM MEETS COHERENT ACCESS NETWORKS
EFFECT Photonics was very pleased to host KEEQuant for a meeting in our offices in Eindhoven. KEEQuant is a start-up focused on coherent quantum cryptography. This was a first meeting to explore how our highly synergetic technologies could work together in a Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) solution. Imran Khan (Managing Director, Co-Founder) and Martin Hauer (Developer & Manager Photonics) from KEEQuant, joined Joost Verberk (Director of Product Management), Tim Koene (CTO) and Wouter Rensen (Project Manager) from EFFECT Photonics.
