Quantum communication technologies
The project concerns a study on the present state of quantum communication technologies, and the nature and timing of expected developments, and the preparation of a proposal for the role of the Joint Research Centre in the domain. Background: Quantum communication technologies, such as polarisation-based optical quantum key distribution and quantum random number generation, are already in use for certain applications. New technologies, currently at very different levels of technical maturity, offer the promise of much wider application.
