Quantum communication uses quantum states of light to protect data and to build new kinds of networks. By distributing quantum keys and entanglement, quantum communication can provide ultra-secure links and enable future quantum networks and, ultimately, a quantum internet.
These technologies will support both government and industrial users, and will complement EuroHPC JU computing and data infrastructure. As quantum networks evolve, secure classical and quantum-enhanced will link to EuroHPC supercomputing and quantum-computing centres and will:
- enable secure access to EuroHPC resources for sensitive workloads,
- allow experiments that combine quantum networking, HPC and quantum computing, and
- support new applications in areas such as distributed computing, secure cloud services and data-intensive science.
