‘Quantum internet: A vision for the road ahead’ sets out a roadmap for quantum internet development that sees the technology passing through six unique phases and names Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) as an indispensable technology as part of its build.
First announced in April 2016, the Quantum Technology Flagship (QTF) is a part of the broader EU Future and Emerging Technologies program. We have been following the program’s development over the past two and a half years and covered the publication of the steering committee’s final report at...
In a recent interview for CIO, Morag Watson examines the digital technologies she believes will drive the 109-year-old organisation towards a digital future, including QKD.
September was a landmark month for quantum technologies in the US, beginning with the House of Representatives passing its version of the National Quantum Initiative Act. The purpose of the Act is to “ensure the continued leadership of the United States in quantum information science (QIS) and its...
We look at the growing role of blockchains in global information exchange and discuss the crucial role that quantum random number generation plays in secure key generation.
Following a report from the IBM Institute for Business Value, we look at the importance of Quantum Random Number Generation (QRNG) and Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) in a post-quantum world and offer advice on how organisations can prepare their cybersecurity for the quantum age.
The term “Internet of Things” (IoT) was first used in 1999 as a reference to the increased number of “connected” devices that leveraged IP networks to communicate with each other. Ten years later the concept had become a reality as, by 2009, there were more “things” connected to the...
The United States and Europe are not alone in their quest for quantum supremacy. China has joined the race and is investing heavily in both patents and research...
Every year, the experts at IBM Research publish a list of five technologies they predict will have a major impact on our lives over the next five years. The “5 in 5” list features some of the biggest breakthrough technologies coming out of the IBM labs.
Gemalto has partnered with ID Quantique to provide high-assurance key protection backed by quantum randomness. The joint solution combines the SafeNet Luna Network Hardware Security Module (HSM) backed by AIS31 validated quantum random number generation.
