Aliro, zerothird, and Cisco Demonstrate Operational Entanglement-Based QKD on Enterprise Routers

Quantum networking software provider Aliro Technologies and Austrian quantum scale-up zerothird have announced a joint quantum-safe networking deployment with Cisco. Conducted at the Cisco Photonics Center in Vimercate, Italy, the project demonstrates real-time orchestration, monitoring, and automated security controls for a live, entanglement-based quantum key distribution (eQKD) network running directly on production-grade routing hardware.
