Last week, we had the opportunity to participate in Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025 as part of the Quantum Flagship stand “Quantum Europe”. Hosted in Barcelona, MWC is one of the most influential events in the world of connectivity, bringing together industry leaders, innovators, and researchers to discuss the future of technology.
• In celebration of the International Year of Quantum Science and Technologies (IYQ), the European Quantum Flagship returns to the Mobile World Congress (MWC25) with “Quantum Europe” (Hall 6 Stand 6A8), a stand aimed at showcasing the most recent disruptive advances in quantum technologies in the areas of connectivity, cybersecurity, computing, AI and telecommunications, among others.
• The Quantum Secure Networks Partnership (QSNP) announces its participation in the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025 within a 100m2 space dedicated to quantum technologies provided by the Quantum Flagship and curated by ICFO- The Institute of Photonic Sciences.
The Vienna Center for Quantum Science and Technology and the University of Vienna have a long tradition in research and innovation in the field of Quantum Science. Inside the institutions, the Operational Quantum Information Group, led by Prof. Borijove Dakic has been very active in the last years in the field of Quantum Information Theory. As result of these years of research, 2023 also saw the born of its spin off company QUBO Technology, as the natural continuation path to these investigations, now focused to bring science to the market through industrial applications.
Quantum key distribution (QKD) is a method for two parties, Alice and Bob, to generate a shared secret key that is secure against eavesdropping, based on the principles of quantum physics. Recent research by QSNP partners from ICFO, has focused on continuous variable QKD (CV-QKD), which uses readily available optical components and existing telecom infrastructure.
The threat of the Quantum Apocalypse keeps coming up among sensationalist media. Will there be a Q-Day when the quantum computers will be so powerful that they will break our current encryption systems?
Researchers form QSNP partner CNRS have designed a simulation for a large-scale, satellite-based quantum network across Europe.
The STAB is an advisory group that includes members with longstanding expertise and leading representatives from the public and private sector, including high-level policy-makers. It anticipates the scientific and technology directions, as well as deployment and use cases for quantum technologies.
The European Quantum Technologies Conference, held in Lisbon, once again has stood out as Europe’s prime event for Quantum technologies, including communications, computation, simulation and sensing.
As previously informed, QSNP was selected to participate in the Innovation Radar from EU, an initiative by the European Commission to identify high-potential innovations emerging from EU-funded projects. This recognition showcases the innovative work our team is conducting in the field of quantum technologies.
Quantum myths – For decades quantum physics has been surrounded by a lot of mystery. We are sure lately you have heard a lot of quantum lies so today we’re starting a new series of posts talking about quantum myths that need to be busted!
A team of QSNP researchers from the Technical University of Denmark and Ghent University-IMEC have achieved a ground-breaking milestone in quantum communication, setting a new record for secure key exchange rates using an integrated photonic-electronic receiver and advanced digital signal processing for continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CV-QKD). This technological leap holds significant promise for bringing a new era of ultra-secure and high-speed quantum communication systems.
A team of researchers from ICFO and the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) from Sweden reports on APL Photonics the first demonstration of a photon pair source based on a silicon core fiber. The novel platform offers a unique combination of low propagation losses, high nonlinearity and compactness making it a promising candidate for scalable quantum applications.
