18 Jan 2021
CryptQ consortium to develop fiber laser-based secure optical networking system over the next three years.
Koheras low-noise, single-frequency fiber laser module.CryptQ is a newly-announced Danish consortium, which is aiming to develop a cost-effective quantum-secured communication system over the next three years. Innovation Fund Denmark has invested â¬3 million into the development program.
CryptQ brings together several businesses working in cryptographic technologies: hardware company Zybersafe; cryptology firm Cryptomathic; and fiber laser developer NKT Photonics. The research is being conducted by a combination of DTU Physics, DTU Fotonik, Aarhus University, and the Danish Fundamental Metrology Institute.
