Empowering Secure
Communications with
Quantum Entanglement

BE PART OF THE
QUANTUM REVOLUTION

The demand for ultra-secure communications has reached critical levels due to the increasing sophistication of cyber threats. Safeguarding sensitive information has become a top priority, necessitating robust security measures to ensure confidentiality and prevent unauthorized access. Advanced technology and innovative security protocols are essential in maintaining trust and protecting data in today’s interconnected world.

„Hack now, decrypt later“ attacks, combined with the impending development of a Cryptographically Relevant Quantum Computer, intensify concerns over the vulnerability of traditional encryption methods. To combat these risks, entanglement-based Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) emerges as a robust solution, providing secure communications that can withstand the evolving threat landscape.

BUILT IN JENA

As the proud of home of Quantum Optics Jena, the city of Jena holds a special place in our hearts. Over 150 years ago, the Jena triumvirate – Carl Zeiss, Ernst Abbe and Otto Schott – revolutionized scientifically based microscope construction, laying the groundwork for internationally renowned companies and fostering a seamless integration between academia, research institutions, and local industry. Today, this legacy lives on through Quantum Optics Jena and others, showcasing the enduring impact of interdisciplinary connections and light-based technologies.

„The City of Light“ has solidified its status as a European hub for optics and photonics research with the integration of Jena’s two esteemed universities, prominent research institutions, and local industry. Jena’s array of luminous success stories have tackled pressing challenges across diverse fronts, including healthcare, energy, transportation, environmental sustainability, security, as well as communication and information technology.

We are one of them.
