Building Europe's Quantum Shield: The Strategic view for a Continent-Wide Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) Infrastructure
The paper advocates for the deployment of the European Communication Infrastructure (EuroQCI), a continent-wide Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) network, to safeguard critical European digital services against future quantum computing threats.
Abstract
More Like ThisThe fast growth of quantum computing can lead to amazing scientific breakthroughs while on the same time can be used to break today's security systems, raising new risks for existing digital systems. Facing this challenge, the European's Union's deployement of the European Communication Infrastructure (EuroQCI) is crucial. The SEEWQCI project combines fiber cables, satellite communications and enhanced security rules to build a strong digital shield. Its focus is to protect vital services like power grids and hospitals keeping Europeans' data safe.
