Getting Luxembourg ready for quantum communication

Q-day – the day that quantum computers will be used to break the encryption standards currently in use – seems to loom closer and closer, and countries worldwide are gearing up, Luxembourg included. Several groups of researchers at SnT are currently working on a range of quantum communication infrastructure (QCI) projects to support the Grand Duchy in protecting governmental and business data, with e-government and secure data centre interconnectivity being just two of the primary fields of application for these technologies.

Stepping Towards a Post-Quantum World

Quantum technology opens up transformative possibilities in computing, communication, sensing and many others – some of which we are only now starting to realise. But, like all technologies, it has its dark side: quantum computing will undermine much of modern cryptography, and with this the security and reliability of the internet.

Having been at SnT since 2009, Prof. Ryan’s research interests of cryptography and security are peripheral to the core themes of ETAPS – the theory and practice of software.
