The Quantum Technologies Flagship, officially launched on 29 October 2018 in Vienna, is a EUR 1 billion initiative funding over 5,000 of Europe's leading Quantum Technologies researchers over the next ten years and aiming at placing Europe at the forefront of the second quantum revolution. Its long-term vision is to develop a quantum web, where qua...

We propose a level-resolved protocol in a hybrid architecture for connecting a superconducting qubit and a magnon mode contained within a microwave cavity (resonator) to generate the local and global entangled states, enabling a wide range of applications in quantum communication, quantum metrology, and quantum information processing. Exploiting th...
The controlled generation of non-classical states of light is a challenging task at the heart of quantum optics. Aside from the mere spirit of science, the related research is strongly driven by applications in photonic quantum technologies, including the fields of quantum communication, quantum computation, and quantum metrology. In this context,...

Entanglement is a key resource in quantum computing and other prospective technologies. Multidimensional photonic graph states, such as cluster states, have a special entanglement structure that makes them a valuable resource for quantum metrology, secure quantum communication and measurement-based quantum computation. However, to date, the generat...
Schrödinger cat states, quantum superpositions of macroscopically distinct classical states, are an important resource for quantum communication, quantum metrology and quantum computation. Especially, cat states in a phase space protected against phase-flip errors can be used as a logical qubit. However, cat states, normally generated in three-dime...

Classical cryptography relies on the assumption that nobody can solve a certain difficult mathematical problem in a realistic amount of time or rely on information theory arguments. Quantum cryptography relies instead on fundamental quantum physics laws. Using large quantum computers, one could break all classical asymmetric algorithms currently used for key distribution and digital signatures.
Quantum computing seems to threaten many of the encryption systems in use today, which assume that nobody can solve a difficult mathematical problem in a realistic amount of time.
Fabio Cavaliere, John Mattsson and Ben Smeets of Ericsson Research provide an overview of the technologies and protocols for Quantum key distribution (QKD) systems, discuss their security implications and examine standardisation activities for QKD networks. They also introduce quantum random number generators (QRNGs) as an important building block for both classical and quantum encryption systems, and address the security challenges posed by the advent of quantum computers.
