14:05 → 14:45 Linking QKD Testbeds in Europe using emulated long-distance links

Piotr Rydlichkowski (PSNC)
The presentation describes how three different QKD testbeds that were part of OPENQKD project infrastructure in Spain, Germany and Poland were interconnected using classical links, the issues that had to be addressed and the approaches that were used. The work, methods and results were aimed at helping to design future system to interconnect NatQCIs within Europe.
