QPIC1550 project partner QTI recently participated in the Optical Fiber Communication (OFC) Conference 2024 (24-28 March), where it showcased its latest developments in photonic integrated circuits (PICs) for quantum communication. The OFC conference, held annually, is a leading global forum for professionals in the optical communications field, offering an opportunity for industry experts, researchers, and innovators to exchange insights and advancements.

As part of its contributions to the QPIC1550 project, QTI presented a talk titled “Photonic Integrated Circuits for Quantum Communication“ highlighting the latest technical progress in secure quantum communication systems. A key feature of QTI’s presentation was a live demonstration of Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), designed to illustrate the practical application of QKD protocols for secure data transmission. This live demo demonstrated how PICs can be effectively used within quantum communication infrastructures, underscoring their role in enhancing data security across optical networks.

The presentation and live demo were met with strong interest, fostering discussions with members of the international research community and industry experts about the future of secure quantum communication. Through its participation in OFC 2024, QTI not only showcased the practical advancements of the QPIC1550 project but also reinforced its commitment to pioneering secure quantum technologies.
