The Luxembourg’s Quantum Communications Infrastructure project (LuxQCI) will create a secure communications shield against cyber threats based on quantum technology. LuxQCI will ensure quantum key distribution (QKD), an ultra-secure form of encryption that uses the principles of quantum mechanics. Enabled via satellites, QKD can secure confidential data, power grids, government communications and digital transactions, including against attacks by quantum computers. The project is an integral part of the European Quantum Communication Infrastructure (EuroQCI).
