The ‘Q-net-Q’ project aims to integrate quantum key distribution (QKD) into existing information and communication systems in order to increase IT security in increasingly digitalised infrastructures. It creates test fields to trial the technology in real networks and drive forward technology transfer to promote a pan-European quantum communication infrastructure.
