Quantum Corridor, Ciena, and Toshiba Validate 1.6 Tb/s Quantum-Safe Encryption on Live Fiber Network - Quantum Computing Report

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). The field deployment utilized Ciena’s Waveserver platform powered by WaveLogic 6 Extreme (WL6e) coherent optics to deliver wire-speed, optical-layer AES-256-GCM encryption. The platform ran NIST-certified post-quantum cryptographic algorithms in tandem with Toshiba’s [...]
