Denmark has strong legacy within quantum technology going back to the discoveries of Niels Bohr and today, Denmark is one of the leading countries in the world in the field of quantum communication research.
With the aim of realizing the business potential and creating fertile ground for a new Danish high-tech industry, the Danish Innovation Fund has invested DKK 22.5 mio. in the so-called CryptQ project.
For the next 3 years, the consortium behind CryptQ will develop a secure and cost-effective technology for quantum communication using QKD (Quantum Key Distribution) to enable that information sent via the regular fiber network will not be intercepted by anyone.
