Wojtech Kotlowski & David Meier (QCINed) — SURF’s EuroQCI quantum network testbed

Title: SURF’s EuroQCI quantum network testbed and outlook on a national quantum network Abstract: The European Quantum Communications Infrastructure (EuroQCI) Initiative is an EU-wide effort to safeguard sensitive data and critical infrastructures by providing an additional layer of security based on quantum physics in our existing communication networks. As part of the Dutch national project, QCINed, SURF is deploying a three-node testbed quantum network in Utrecht with a connection to an additional node in the Amsterdam Science Park. Through this effort, we tried to develop an understanding of the hardware, software, protocol, and operational requirements for integrating quantum networks into real-world telecommunication networks. In this seminar we will present an overview of this effort which is about to culminate in a testbed scheduled to come online by the end of the year. The next step is to engage with users and researchers to make use of this network and we will present an overview of the available possibilities to use this testbed for research purposes. Ultimately, SURF’s goal is to deliver a national quantum network for research and education in the Netherlands and we are in the process of planning the first national quantum network. We will provide a snapshot of these plans with which we hope to trigger a discussion on what is needed by researchers to enable future ground-breaking research. Date of talk: 2024-10-18
