Quantum control and communication

TruQuaC

Trusted Quantum Control and Communication

XeedQ coordinates TruQuaC, a BMFTR-funded project developing trusted control and communication for distributed quantum nodes.

Trusted control for distributed quantum nodes

TruQuaC is funded under the BMFTR call “Transfer and Network Integration of Quantum Communication”. The project addresses how distributed quantum nodes can be controlled securely, reliably, and at scale.

The consortium is developing a control and security architecture to:

Authenticate access to quantum nodes.
Distribute tasks across the network.
Monitor the status of individual nodes.
Respond automatically to disruptions.

Quantum Network Gateways will provide a secure interface between the central platform and individual quantum nodes.

XeedQ’s contribution

XeedQ contributes its commercially available NV-center-based quantum processors, together with expertise in low-level hardware development, networking experimental quantum systems, and monitoring distributed quantum technology platforms.
