Quantum Computer
Quantum computing is poised to revolutionise industries by solving problems that are beyond the reach of classical computers. Unlike traditional binary-based computing, quantum computers leverage the principles of superposition and entanglement, allowing them to process vast amounts of data simultaneously. This breakthrough technology has the potential to accelerate drug discovery, optimise complex logistics, enhance artificial intelligence, and tackle pressing global challenges like climate modelling.

Beyond scientific advancements, quantum computing also presents both an opportunity and a threat to cybersecurity. With the ability to break classical encryption systems, nations and organisations are racing to develop quantum-resistant cryptography and secure quantum communication networks, such as Quantum Key Distribution (QKD).
QKD Via Fibre
Fibre-based Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) offers an extremely secure communication system, allowing quantum-safe data transmission across extensive optical fibre networks in cities. These networks constitute the core of Metropolitan Quantum Networks (MQNs), which are essential in safeguarding sensitive information for governments, financial entities, and healthcare providers from cyber threats, including prospective assaults from quantum computers. In contrast to traditional encryption that depends on mathematical intricacy, MQNs utilize the essential principles of quantum mechanics to guarantee that encryption keys stay unbreakable and that any eavesdropping attempt is promptly identified.
QKD Via Satellite
Satellite enabled Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) expands quantum secure communication beyond ground-based fibre networks, facilitating worldwide encryption. In contrast to fibre based QKD, which suffers from optical losses over extended distances, satellite QKD sends quantum-encrypted keys via free space, greatly minimizing attenuation and facilitating secure key exchange over far-off locations.
Satellites produce and share quantum keys through entangled photons or weak coherent laser pulses, guaranteeing highly secure data transmission for governments, military operations, and financial organisations.
