EPIC Online Technology Meeting on Quantum Communication
Online Event
Join us for an exclusive Online Technology Meeting on Quantum Communication, where we’ll explore the forefront of secure and ultra-fast data transmission. Experts will inform about the particularities of quantum key distribution (QKD), quantum teleportation, and quantum entanglement, highlighting their pivotal roles in achieving unbreakable encryption and quantum-enhanced communication. Discover how quantum communication is poised to revolutionize secure financial transactions, network infrastructure, and information exchange, ushering in a new era of cyber resilience and data privacy.
This meeting will gather key plays covering all the supply chain such as fiber manufacturers, single-photon sources, detectors and systems integrators. We will focus on the need for commercial quantum communication systems from an end-user point of view. Moreover, we will target in supporting collaborations and creating business opportunities in the quantum-enhanced communication field.
