We’re pleased to unveil new research that could make national-scale #quantum communications a reality.

Our latest paper, published in Nature Magazine, details how a world-first trial using our new coherent quantum communication technology has achieved a breakthrough in sharing quantum-safe information across distances of more than 250km.

By using simple semiconductor technology instead of complex cryogenic components, our new approach is capable of overcoming key cost and logistical barriers facing long-distance quantum communications networks.

Find out more about how this brings us a step closer to effective quantum networks here: https://lnkd.in/e2uDdUNU

To coincide with this years’ World Quantum Day, the UK Government has announced its investing £121 million in quantum technology to tackle crime, fraud, and money laundering!

At Toshiba, we’re committed to ensuring our bright quantum future remains secure, with our Quantum Key Distribution technology designed to safeguard sensitive information from quantum-powered attacks.

HSBC bank, who have been working closely with government backed partner National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) in finding ways quantum can be used to identify indicators of money laundering, know what’s at stake in achieving quantum-safe communications. That’s why, HSBC was the first bank to join BT Group and Toshiba’s pioneering commercial quantum secure metro network, to safeguard financial transactions and data well into the future: https://lnkd.in/giQhBZUn
