PQShield contributed to a demonstration day at BT Group’s R&D centre – Adastral Park in Ipswich for businesses, universities, data centre providers and users.
Unveiling the vision of the ‘Quantum Data Centre of the Future’ (QDCF) project, the day showcased technology innovations to demonstrate how quantum communication and computing systems can integrate with classical data centres. Central to the event was the presentation of a hybrid quantum-classical data centre architecture and the introduction of the quantum technology access programme, which set the stage for a series of state-of-the-art technology demonstrations. As part of this, PQShield and KETS Quantum Security showed how PQShield’s post-quantum cryptography (PQC) libraries and KETS Quantum Security’s quantum key distribution (QKD) technology can be combined to provide a secure communications solution for the data centre.
