Terra Quantum wins US Air Force contract for quantum-resistant network study

Quick Summary:

Swiss startup Terra Quantum announced today it has landed a contract to embark on a study with the US Air Force for a network utilising post-quantum cryptography, quantum key distribution, and quantum random number generators.  Terra Quantum is the recipient of a grant from the Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) fund for technologies with applications for the defence industry.

The aim of the specific project is to create a long-range, ultra-secure communication network that will be virtually unhackable even as quantum computing technologies progress.

Quantum Random Number Generators (QRNGs) leverage quantum mechanics to generate random numbers.
