Quantum Corridor, Ciena, and Toshiba Validate 1.6 Tb/s Quantum-Safe Encryption on Live Fiber Network
Midwest network infrastructure developer Quantum Corridor, optical networking provider Ciena (NYSE: CIEN), and Toshiba have completed a field trial of high-speed quantum-safe optical encryption across a live commercial network. Conducted on Quantum Corridor’s production fiber network connecting data center nodes between Chicago, Illinois, and Hammond, Indiana, the trial validated 1.6 Terabits per second (Tb/s) of encrypted optical capacity secured simultaneously by post-quantum cryptography (PQC) and Quantum Key Distribution (QKD).
