Quantum secure communication uses quantum mechanisms to secure classical (non-quantum) communication and is fundamental to national information security and socioeconomic development. One of the ...

A University of Ottawa team has developed a new way to protect free-space quantum key distribution (QKD) from atmospheric turbulence, one of the main causes of distortion and errors when sending ...

Quantum communication could enable uncrackable transfer of information, but most approaches rely on trusted devices. Researchers have now demonstrated that a new method that does away with this ...

When Q-Day arrives — the day hackers get access to quantum computers that can break today’s data encryption methods — the impact on mission-critical infrastructure could be catastrophic. Exactly what ...
