Advancing novel mechanisms for quantum-secure communications on existing coherent optical networks
FY 2021-22 · 2021-08-30
Summary
The company is extending its research activities in advancing novel mechanisms for quantum-secure communications on existing coherent optical networks. We have identified a need for a Technical Research position that will be used to advance research capabilities and depth of knowledge in the area of Quantum Public Key Envelope (QPKE), which was recently submitted for IP protection. Our aim is to evaluate advancing academic research to industry commercialization for the technology. This project will focus on related research, preliminary design, and subsequently finalizing a potential prototype for a QPKE subsystem. The project will be contained in a controlled industry environment.

Description (French)
L'entreprise étend ses activités de recherche à l'avancement de nouveaux mécanismes de communications quantiques sécurisées sur les réseaux optiques cohérents existants. Nous avons déterminé que nous avions besoin d'un poste en recherche technique, lequel servira à faire progresser les capacités de recherche et la profondeur des connaissances dans le domaine de l'enveloppe de clé publique quantique (ECPQ), qui a récemment fait l'objet d'une demande de protection de la propriété intellectuelle. Notre objectif est d'évaluer l'avancement de la recherche universitaire vers la commercialisation industrielle de cette technologie. Ce projet portera sur la recherche connexe, la conception préliminaire, puis la finalisation d'un prototype potentiel pour un sous-système ECPQ. Le projet se déroulera dans un environnement industriel contrôlé.
