From September 2 to 6, Vigo will host the ‘International Conference on Quantum,’ which will be held in Spain for the first time
The technology center, a sponsor of the event, will participate in this essential forum in the field of quantum cryptography
Gradiant will participate in the 14th International Conference on Quantum Cryptography (QCrypt 2024), which will be held in Vigo from September 2 to 6, 2024. This event, taking place in Spain for the first time, is a global reference in the field of quantum cryptography and secure communications.
Security is one of our core areas. That’s why our team is exploring the possibilities offered by Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) technology. This innovative technique, based on quantum optical communications, enables the generation of completely secure keys between two users, through satellite-to-ground links or via fiber optics. QKD has become a fundamental tool for securing communications in critical sectors such as government and finance. At Gradiant, we are also working on other innovative technologies in the quantum field, including atomic RF sensors and NV center-based sensors, as well as implementing 5G networks secured through QKD and creating quantum communication repeaters to extend the range of this technology. These research efforts reflect Gradiant’s commitment to cutting-edge technology and its role as a leader in the evolution of quantum communication networks.
Sponsoring QCrypt 2024 reinforces Gradiant’s strategic focus on advanced quantum technologies. Additionally, the work conducted by the technology center in this area contributes to developing solutions that will define the future of communication security.
International Forum with Over 250 Specialists
Organized by the University of Vigo and the Galician Supercomputing Center (Cesga), the 14th International Conference on Quantum Cryptography will bring together around 250 specialists from China, Japan, Canada, the United Kingdom, Austria, Italy, South Korea, France, Switzerland, Australia, Singapore, the United States, Russia, Israel, and Germany. These experts work on various aspects of developing advanced technologies that ensure continuous improvement in the security and confidentiality of communications.
Participants will also have the opportunity to attend lectures presenting the most significant results of the past year in quantum cryptography, fostering the development of an international community in this field. Additionally, on Tuesday, September 3, a free public lecture will be held at the Afundación Theater, bringing these cutting-edge topics closer to society.
Gradiant will use this forum to showcase its advancements and continue driving the development of quantum technologies in Galicia.
