• Large scale QKD and Quantum Networks best practices

Quantum Technologies

For European SMEs, this work opens new opportunities in the quantum technology market by providing clear, standardised pathways for the adoption and implementation of quantum communication technologies, enabling them to compete more effectively in the global technology landscape, fostering economic growth and innovation within the European Union.

Secure quantum communication networks protect sensitive information and critical infrastructures from quantum computing threats, enhancing the overall security and resilience of European digital infrastructure, contributing to a safer Europe where citizens can trust the protection of their data and the stability of critical services.

• Providing Best Practices for QKD Implementation
• Contributing to Standardization Roadmaps
• Aligning European Efforts with Global Standardization Bodies

Quantum Technologies

The project impacts European SMEs and societies by supporting SME Involvement in Quantum Standardization. The aims is to provide guidance and best practices for quantum technology startups, and to createa roadmap for SME-friendly quantum communication deployments.

This activity contributes to enhancing Cybersecurity for European Societies as it supports the strengthening of data security and encryption against future quantum threats. It also enables ensuring the reliable and secure deployment of QKD networks for critical infrastructure protection. Moreover, my engagement supports promoting Economic Growth in the European Quantum Industry as it facilitates cross-border quantum technology deployments aligned with EuroQCI and international standards
