Quantum Communications Research

Satellite QKD

QKD is set to become a global technology and satellite-based quantum communication systems hold the potential to unlock this global marketplace.

Satellite QKD
Fibre QKD

Fibre QKD

Today’s communication networks make extensive use of optical fibre for transporting data. With the coming quantum era, it is therefore vital to consider how such fibre-based communications can be made quantum-safe.

Photonic Integration

Photonic Integrated Circuits are a key enabling technology for the wide scale deployment of quantum communication systems by reducing the size, cost and power consumption of the devices.

Quantum Random Number Generation

Quantum Random Number Generation

Random numbers are critical for modelling and simulations in science and engineering and have a central role in all cryptographic protocols.

Standardisation

In telecommunications, standards enable complex networks to function across borders, and with equipment from multiple vendors.
