QUANGO: Quantum Communications with NanoSatellites and 5G protocols
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…
Resource-effective Quantum Key Distribution: a field-trial in Padua city center
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…
Generazione di numeri casuali con tecniche quantistiche: il progetto QUASAR
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…
OPENQKD su IlSole24Ore
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…
First contact between the Micius Satellite and the ASI observatory in Matera
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…
Space Quantum Communications on the news
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 fast source-independent QRNG
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…
