Funded solution:  KEEQuant

About the company:

KEEQuant is a German quantum technology company founded in 2020 that develops quantum-secure communication solutions, including Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) systems and key management software (KMS), with a strong focus on protecting critical infrastructure against  cryptography threats with an ease-of-mind solution. 

Challenge:

Advancing photonic integration is one key bottleneck for widespread adoption of quantum-secure communication, to make it practical, cost-effective, and deployable.

Solution:

With support from PhotonQBoost, the company is accelerating the exploration of a novel combination of materials and components designed to enhance scalability and performance while reducing size, complexity, and cost. This promises a direct impact on improving long-distance performance, particularly in the context of continuous-variable QKD (CV-QKD), which offers strong advantages in terms of full photonic integration.
