QCI-CAT partner University of Innsbruck published a paper in which they describe the success of demonstrating a quantum repeater node at telecom wavelengths. This finding has huge potential for realizing the so-called quantum internet and quantum key distribution over long distances (up to 800km, which would allow an entanglement distribution from Vienna to Innsbruck). The […]
ABOUT QCI-CAT
Building on the long research experience of Austrian institutions in the field of quantum technologies, the project QCI-CAT aims at an adoption of modern encryption technology based on QKD for highly secure communication between public authorities.
QCI-CAT will investigate and verify new security applications for public authorities, such as secret sharing and message authentication.
Additionally, QCI-CAT will also leverage a research testbed for new technological approaches such as the combination of post-quantum encryption with QKD, long-distance QKD with secured trusted nodes and field trials of quantum repeaters.
