The #quantum key distribution (QKD) is a process for #cryptography that harnesses fundamental principles of quantum mechanics to exchange secret keys, which can then be used to ensure secure communication. Dr. Norbert Lütkenhaus, executive director of the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) and his research group recently released a modular, open-source software package on GitHub, which allows users to model realistic QKD protocols and calculate the generation rate for secure quantum keys using user-submitted variables for real-world scenarios.

The security of today's encryption processes is threatened by the rapid development of quantum computers. This is where #quantumcommunication and the "quantum-secure" encryption strategies that are based on it come into play. These build on the future technology base provided by quantum key distribution (QKD), which promises physically secure communication based on quantum mechanical principles, and quantum repeaters, which transmit quantum states over longer distances. A new study by Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISI and Europa-Institut, Saarland University took a closer look at the current state of quantum communication technologies.

Un passo avanti per le tecnologie quantistiche in Italia dove un team di ricerca del centro Sensors & Devices di Fondazione Bruno Kessler - FBK, esperti in circuiti quantistici superconduttori, ha prodotto il primo qubit interamente realizzato in Italia

Although fifth-generation (5G) wireless networks have only been available for the past five years or so, 6G networks are already fast being dreamed up. The unprecedented technology, anticipated to launch around 2030, will not only deliver much faster data speeds than 5G but will also integrate artificial intelligence and quantum technologies to provide low latency and merge the human, physical, and digital realms of experience. One of the researchers leading the 6G effort in Europe is Riccardo Bassoli, whose focus is the design and integration of quantum computing, communication and sensing technologies for this new generation of networks. He heads the Quantum Communications Networks research group at TU Dresden in Germany, collaborates with various companies like Deutsche Telekom and is involved in the EU flagship projects Hexa-X-II and QIA (Quantum Internet Alliance).

👉 An alliance of leading scientific bodies and academies from around the world is presenting a resolution to recognize quantum science and technology to the 2023 General Conference of UNESCO and the 2023 General Assembly of the United Nations. The resolution seeks to declare 2025 as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, celebrating the transformative impact of quantum science on technology, culture, and our comprehension of the natural world. The selection of 2025 for this significant international event commemorates a century since the inception of quantum mechanics, according to the scientists. 📍 Quantum science and technology are poised to become the paramount interdisciplinary field of the 21st century, significantly impacting pressing global challenges addressed in the UN’s 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. By inspiring and nurturing young minds worldwide, the project aims to foster the next generation of quantum pioneers, who will harness quantum science to create a positive impact on humanity. https://lnkd.in/grNDKzVr #QuantumItalia #QuantumTechnologies

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a new design concept for creating next-generation carbon-based quantum materials, in the form of a tiny magnetic nanographene with a unique butterfly-shape hosting highly correlated spins. This new design has the potential to accelerate the advancement of #QuantumMaterials which are pivotal for the development of sophisticated quantum computing technologies poised to revolutionize information processing and high density storage capabilities.

Three separate research groups have demonstrated quantum entanglement — in which two or more objects are linked so that they contain the same information even if they are far apart — over several kilometers of existing optical fibers in real urban areas. The feat is a key step towards a future quantum internet, a network that could allow information to be exchanged while encoded in quantum states. Together, the experiments are “the most advanced demonstrations so far” of the technology needed for a #QuantumInternet, says physicist Tracy Northup at the Universität Innsbruck in Austria. Each of the three research teams — based in the United States, China and the Netherlands — was able to connect parts of a network using photons in the optical-fiber-friendly infrared part of the spectrum, which is a “major milestone”. #QuantumItalia #QuantumTechnologies #QuantumComputing

#QuantumComputing has a number of advantages over other technologies in terms of accelerating our progress with reducing climate change. What are some of quantum computing’s potential applications for reducing climate change? 🔋 Energy: Quantum computing can help with energy optimization, data analysis, and research and development. It is a very powerful tool that could help with energy allocation, grid optimization and design new clean energy technology 🧑🔬 Material Science: Quantum computing can create new advances in material science, developing new methods that can decrease the amount of emissions manufacturing creates. In quantum chemistry, given a property, materials could be generated - in a much more sophisticated manner than with artificial intelligence. 👉 Advanced Modeling, Simulations And Optimizations: Quantum computing can perform advanced climate modeling, prediction and monitoring. This could help us to be better able to adapt to climate change by predicting storms, heatwaves, and more with more accuracy than our current systems. #QuantumItalia #QuantumStudio
