The aim of this proposed research programme is to strengthen a future-proof and sustainable knowledge base in the field of quantum technology. The focus is on fundamental research, with further development and long-term applications in defence-relevant contexts in mind.
Status: IN PREPARATION

Description
The call for proposals distinguishes between two research lines. The first research line aims to explore solutions to make entanglement ‘portable’, by generating it at a single location and then storing it long-term in a portable memory. The second research line aims to increase our knowledge and confidence in existing and new quantum-resistant cryptography, which operates on existing (conventional) ICT systems without the need for quantum hardware.
This research programme has been established through a collaboration between NWO and the Ministry of Defence.
