European Consortium QUARTERNEXT Launches to Advance Certifiable Quantum-Key Distribution Systems
A multinational European deep-tech consortium named QUARTERNEXT has launched a four-year, cross-border initiative to mature and formally certify quantum-safe communication infrastructures. Coordinated by Spanish cybersecurity hardware developer Luxquanta, the project establishes a 48-month deployment pipeline that spans specialized entities across Spain, Austria, and the Netherlands. Funded under the Digital Europe Programme’s IRIS² Quantum Communication Infrastructure (QCI) framework, the partnership develops certified, industrial-grade systems to directly support the European Union’s broader EuroQCI mandate—an initiative focused on interconnecting member states via highly secure, tamper-evident communication networks.
