Application of unitary designs to quantum encryption

Unitary designs play an important role in quantum information theory and beyond. Applications include the ubiquitous decoupling technique in quantum information theory, quantum encryption, randomized benchmarking and more. Researchers have studied a weaker form of approximate […]

New mobile banking service based on QKD

A mobile banking app based on SK Telecom’s 5G quantum cryptography technology will be introduced at a South Korean bank. Personal information will be thoroughly protected when customers transfer money or going through identity verification […]

High fidelity entanglement through a fiber cable

A team of researchers from Heriot-Watt University, the Indian Institute of Technology and the University of Glasgow has demonstrated a way to transport entangled particles through a commercial fiber cable with 84.4% fidelity. The work […]

Quantum Cryptographic communication technology for genomic medicine

Toshiba Corporation, Tohoku University Tohoku Medical Megabank Organization (ToMMo) and Tohoku University Hospital have demonstrated that quantum cryptographic communications technology can provide genomic medicine with a safe, completely secure data management environment. This was achieved […]

A Quantum money solution to the Blockchain scalability problem

Researchers from Caltech and Ben-Gurion University put forward the idea that classical blockchains and smart contracts are potentially useful primitives not only for classical cryptography, but for quantum cryptography as well. Abstractly, a smart contract […]

Post-Quantum Cryptography enters selection round

After spending more than three years examining new approaches to encryption and data protection that could defeat an assault from a quantum computer, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has winnowed the 69 […]

US unveils Quantum Internet blueprint

US Department of Energy (DOE) officials and scientists have begun laying the groundwork for a more secure “virtually unhackable” internet based on Quantum Computing technology. A report has been issued that lays out a blueprint […]

SIG and ID Quantique collaborate in QKD

Services Industriels de Genève (SIG), Geneva’s utility company (Switzerland), ID Quantique (IDQ), one of the leading company in quantum-safe security solutions, and ADVA, a provider in secure open optical networking solutions, announced today the implementation […]
