IonQ deploys Romanian National Quantum Communication Infrastructure technology

IonQ (IONQ) announced that it has deployed the technology powering the Romanian National Quantum Communication Infrastructure, or RoNaQCI. The company said, “This initiative represents one of the largest and most complex operational quantum key distribution networks in Europe and one of the largest of its kind outside of China. Delivered in partnership with the National University of Science and Technology POLITEHNICA Bucharest and RoEduNet, Romania’s national research and education network, the project marks a major milestone in Europe’s efforts to protect critical communications against current and future cyber threats. The nationwide network is built exclusively using IonQ’s commercially available QKD technology, demonstrating that quantum-secure communications are scalable and operational for national infrastructure today.”
