Bay Photonics chosen as packaging partner for Toshiba Research quantum project

Bay Photonics, specialists in Photonics device assembly and packaging, is to participate in an Innovate UK industry challenge fund quantum technology project to address the increased vulnerability to cyber-security threats brought about by quantum computing capabilities.

The Agile Quantum Safe Communications (AQuaSec) project will develop technologies for “quantum-safe” communications that will combine efficient implementations of new quantum-resistant algorithms and techniques from quantum cryptography which are immune to all advances in computing including quantum computing.

The project will build prototypes that test their security and demonstrate their benefits to end users and is led by Toshiba Research Europe Limited.

Other project partners are BP plc, BT Limited, Dashboard Limited, Heriot-Watt University, IQE Limited, KETS Quantum Security Limited, NPL Management Limited, Queen’s University (Belfast), Radianz Limited, Royal Holloway University (London), Tethered Drone Systems Ltd., University of Cambridge, University of Glasgow and University of Sheffield
