Post, Rhea Group, Hitec, le SnT de l’Université du Luxembourg et l’Agence spatiale européenne ont présenté, le mercredi 7 décembre en soirée, un nouveau projet de plateforme «opérationnelle» de distribution de clés quantiques. L’avenir de la protection des communications va ainsi s’écrire très vite.

The University of Luxembourg and the government have teamed up to launch a quantum communications laboratory next year as part of plans submitted to Brussels under the NextGenerationEU package.

Luxembourg is receiving €93m under the NextGenerationEU recovery package that aims to restart economies after the covid-19 pandemic. It will use the money to fund the decarbonisation of traffic as well as affordable and sustainable housing projects.

But the country also plans to boost digitalisation and develop next generation quantum communication infrastructure, which is thought to be safe from hackers as it uses the laws of quantum physics to protect data.

The University of Luxembourg's Interdisciplinary Center for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT) in collaboration with the Media, Connectivity and Digital Policy Service (SMC), announced the development in April 2022. The project “LUQCIA” is a project funded by the Recovery and Resilience Facility (FRR) of the European Union – NextGenerationEU with a duration of five years. It aims to build a national testbed for Quantum Communication Infrastructure (QCI) and enable advanced collaborative research in this area. This initiative aims to increase Luxembourg's competitiveness on the European and international scene and to promote an active research ecosystem by pooling the resources of public and private players.

With "Quantum Key Distribution" (QKD) applications as its initial target, the project foresees several milestones as well as a series of configurations, which, once concluded, will form the basis of this project, which is supposed to serve as a catalyst for innovative research in all the layers of quantum communication networks, namely software, cryptography, networks, signal processing and optics.
