On 21st of March 2024, three previous PhD students from the QuantumFuture group defended their theses in front of an evaluation committee. We would like to extend our congratulations to the new graduated PhDs: Dr. Federico Berra, Dr. Tommaso Bertapelle,…
Prof. Thomas Jennewein and part of his team from the University of Waterloo, visited the QuantumFuture group on Thursday, 29th of February. Thomas Jennewein is a faculty member of the Institute for Quantum Computing and holds a position of an Associate…
Researchers from Europe and Canada want to jointly create the basis for an intercontinental network for quantum communication. The HYPERSPACE project will focus on the investigation of the distribution of entangled photons via satellite. The research project has now started…
The recently launched European project Quango aims to develop a 5G-QKD nanosatellite constellation to ensure maximum security in communications across Europe. Cybersecurity is the main concern for the digital world of these days. We all share tons of information on…
A recent field-trial successfully demonstrated Quantum Key Distribution over a deployed metropolitan fiber-network in Padua! Field-trials are of key importance for novel technologies seeking commercialization and wide-spread adoption. This is certainly also the case for QRNG and Quantum Key Distribution…
È partito da quest’anno il progetto triennale Quasar (QUAntum SAfe Randomness), finanziato dalla Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Padova e Rovigo, che si occuperà della generazione di numeri casuali con tecniche quantistiche. La generazione di numeri casuali è di fondamentale…
IlSole24Ore, nella sua edizione cartacea del 9 dicembre 2019, ha parlato del nostro Dipartimento di Ingegneria dell’Informazione. QuantumFuture è presente grazie alla partecipazione al progetto europeo OPENQKD. OPENQKD (www.openqkd.eu) è un progetto europeo triennale iniziato a settembre 2019 con un…
A step forward in satellite quantum communication on a planetary scale: the successful demonstration of tracking and synchronization between Micius, the satellite of the Chinese Academy of Sciences dedicated to quantum communication, and the ASI-MLRO observatory in Matera, with the…
In June 2014 we posted on the ArXiv the results on the first realization of quantum communication from satellite [arXiv:1406.4051]. New Scientist reacted rapidly with First quantum transmission sent through space as well as the MIT Technology Review, with the…
A novel scheme for ultrafast Quantum Random Number Generators exploiting from the quadratures of an electromagnetic field without any assumption on the input state. The method allows to eliminate the numbers that can be predict due the presence of classical…
