In today's interconnected world, ensuring the security and privacy of our messages is more important than ever. The value of our information makes it a target for interception and decryption by third parties, posing a significant challenge to data security. Quantum key distribution (QKD) is a digital security system that uses concepts from quantum mechanics to keep your messages secure.

During the event, we will delve into the basics of quantum communication, including quantum entanglement and quantum key distribution (QKD). Discover how these concepts are transforming secure communication technologies.

The discussion will then focus on PRISM’s pioneering efforts in Malta, significantly advancing beyond traditional methods to ensure unmatched security and data integrity. The presentation will cover PRISM's alignment with the EuroQCI initiative, detailing the project's ambitious plans to establish a quantum-secured network in Malta.

Attendees will discover the proposed infrastructure, strategic QCI node locations, and the cutting-edge technologies involved. They will also explore the broader implications for various industries, highlighting how this innovative network can revolutionise sectors with enhanced security and reliability.

Don’t miss this chance to learn about the future of secure communication and Malta's key role in this quantum leap forward.

Join us on Tuesday 15 October 2024 at 19:00 at Studio B, Spazju Kreattiv, St James Cavalier, Valletta for an enlightening talk on the future of communication, featuring Professor André Xuereb.
