Qubitrium launches QubitCore hardware into space

“This multi-node deployment represents a major milestone for Ireland’s national quantum infrastructure. By integrating Q*Bird’s operational MDI-QKD Falqon® Series across research institutions, data centers and national networks, we are enabling secure, interoperable quantum communication while also creating a platform for other research institutions to join. It strengthens Ireland’s sovereignty over critical communications and contributes directly to EuroQCI and Europe’s federated quantum network vision.”

“With this deployment, we continue demonstrating that secure, multi-node quantum networks are not theoretical constructs but operational systems ready for national infrastructure. By combining field-proven hardware with MDI-QKD protocols, we deliver infrastructure resilient against both contemporary cyber threats and future quantum attacks. With this deployment, we are fully prepared for expansion and collaboration with additional research and educational institutions.”

Towards a federated European quantum network

“As quantum computing advances, defensive architectures must evolve accordingly. By eliminating detector vulnerabilities and enabling interoperable, cross-border quantum key distribution, we are building infrastructure that protects current communication networks and the integrity of future digital infrastructure.”

“A multi-node MDI-QKD network enables our researchers to evaluate key performance metrics and optimise network configurations for high-security scalable deployments. Having the centre hub on UPM premises facilitates maintenance and experimentation while reducing costs, but it also allows us to provide cryptographic services to third parties within the high-security ecosystem with effective trust management.”

“The MadQCI ecosystem is more than a quantum network. It is a hub that attracts stakeholders seeking performance, interoperability and scalability solutions that are critical for a Europe-wide quantum infrastructure. Q*Bird's MDI-QKD system is ideal for powering this all.”

“With this network, Spain is not just participating in Europe’s quantum future, it is helping define it. We are creating a trusted foundation for secure, multi-node quantum networks that will underpin Europe’s digital sovereignty and research community. This assures and guarantees that the data moving through these trusted networks is truly secure.”

A sensory, playful, and thrilling introduction to the technology that will change our world.

"Quantum technology will soon be as commonplace as electricity. That’s why we need to make it human, accessible, and exciting as quickly as possible.”

“Quantum technology will become a key technology with major impact in the future. The sooner we get acquainted with it, the better we understand what it can mean and how to deal with it. The future will not wait. You are the future.”
