Quantum Computing

UK tech incubator Digital Catapult has added Vodafone to the growing ranks of companies hoping to derive some practical benefits from quantum computing.

The telco has joined Digital Catapult's Quantum Technology Access Programme (QTAP), which is part of government-backed Innovate UK's Quantum Data Centre of the Future project.

4th -8th November 2024

The Taiwan Semiconductor Research Institute (TSRI), part of the National Applied Research Laboratories, has purchased its first full-stack superconducting quantum computer from IQM Quantum Computers, a global leader in quantum technology.

Where technology, policy and commerce converge

On 15 November, the Federated Telecoms Hubs (FTH) invited academia and industry to a symposium in London. 
It was an opportunity to hear from each of the four hubs that make up FTH and understand their ambitious collective goals to better drive the gap between telecoms R&D and translation to commercialisation.

The UK government has opened its National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) that will host 12 quantum computer systems.

The NQCC facility at Harwell in Oxfordshire will be home to 12 quantum computers, each designed to push the boundaries of what is possible with this emerging technology

The UKTIN Strategic Groups bring together academic and industry leaders and experts, governmental and regulatory specialists, and representative bodies to cohesively communicate the needs of the broader ecosystem and propose a shared public and private sector strategic vision for UK telecoms. 

• BT and Toshiba have already deployed a quantum-safe metro network in the London area
• Now they have teamed up with datacentre operator Equinix
• Its facilities in Canary Wharf, London, and Slough will be connected by data links protected using quantum key distribution

The Department of Science Innovation and Technology (DSIT) is conducting a survey of UK businesses. Help us understand how we can support innovation in businesses and shape future policies.

Last week’s post-quantum cryptography (PQC) standards announcement by the US Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has shone a much needed spotlight on next-generation network securi

The US Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has issued the first three encryption algorithms developed to resist and negate attacks made by quantum computers against digital security defences, including those deployed in communications network infrastructure. 

The trial, also supported by Telsy's specific expertise, has concerned the first Internet Protocol secure (IPsec) tunnel between Italy and Germany with advanced quantum-safe protection methods

IBM is the leading developer of technology that will enable quantum-safe networking, according to the results of a recent TelecomTV market perception survey that have just been published in our latest DSP Leaders publication, the Qua

Singtel will partner with Cisco, Fortinet and Nokia to provide quantum security solutions to enterprises through its Quantum Safe Network (QSN).

The quantum computing era and its upsides and downsides might still be years away, but the threat to communications network security set to be posed by cyber criminals armed with quantum computers is already being addressed by multiple telcos and vendors, with Ciena and Toshiba the latest to team up and show off their quantum-safe networking cap

ORCA Computing, in collaboration with BT Group, hosted a demonstration day at BT Group’s R&D centre – Adastral Park in Ipswich for businesses, universities, data centre providers and users.

• Quantum dots tuned to C-Band telecoms frequencies will be compatible with existing fibre-optic telecoms networks
• This offers enormous potential for global quantum telecoms networks and the quantum internet of the future 
• Tiny semiconductor particles can, according to their size,

UKTIN member Quantum Dice is leveraging its patented source-device independent self-certification (DISC™) protocol to develop the world’s first compact, high-speed, and continuously self-certifying quantum random number generator (QRNG).

This technology, which harnesses quantum processes to produce verifiably secure rand

We are excited to announce today a new programme of support for early stage companies working in the telecoms sector and adjacent sectors such as quantum, AI, cyber and space.
