Infoshare: Operational Aspects of Quantum Communication Networks

Starts 2 Sept 2025, 14:00

Ends 2 Sept 2025, 15:30

(Timezone - Europe/Amsterdam)

Virtually Hosted

With QKD point-to-point links moving towards multi-node, multi-technology QKD networks operational aspects come into focus: How can the hybrid integration of PQC and QKD be achieved? How can performance and stability of QKD links be checked, monitored and verified? What issues must be tackled when it comes to the control plane and synchronisation in quantum networks that are currently based on QKD technology? What lessons have already been learnt?

The event will be recorded.
