BaltiQC: Quantum Communication Link in the Baltic Sea Region

This initiative aims to establish a network of industry partners, including start-ups, SMEs, and research institutions, to develop and implement a demonstrator for a quantum-safe communication link in the Baltic Sea region. The focus is on achieving quantum-safe key exchange between nodes, leveraging existing technologies rather than developing new ones.
The demonstrator will connect key hubs in Germany, Poland, and Lithuania, such as Berlin, Poznań, Warsaw, Gdańsk, and Vilnius, integrating fibre-based and free-space QKD communication. Free-space segments are essential to bypass geopolitical challenges, with the potential inclusion of secure space links. This functional platform will support testing, evaluation, and learning, paving the way for the European quantum communication infrastructure.

Currently, this project is funded through a ZIM International Network (BMWK). The ZIM International netowork is coordinated by Eura AG.
