The Slovak Quantum Communication Infrastructure project is implemented by the Institute of Physics of the Slovak Academy of Sciences. It addresses the need for secure and reliable communication channels, which are critical for data in research, government, and industry. The project’s main objective is to develop a national quantum communication network that enables ultra-secure data transmission. It works by applying principles of quantum physics, such as quantum key distribution, to protect information against interception or tampering. The Institute of Physics leads the design, testing, and deployment, collaborating with national research institutions and technology partners.
