Insider Brief

The CHIRON project has launched in Germany to develop a scalable quantum communication infrastructure based on entanglement-enabled Quantum Key Distribution (QKD).

The consortium will demonstrate quantum-secure networking through testbeds in Berlin and Thuringia, integrating quantum communications with existing digital infrastructure.

The project combines entangled photon sources, quantum networking technologies, secure operating systems, and intelligent key routing to support future quantum-secure communications.

PRESS RELEASE — The CHIRON project has officially launched, bringing together leading German research institutions and technology companies to build a scalable, entanglement-based quantum communication infrastructure designed to secure Europe’s digital networks against emerging cyber threats.
