PROJECTS

QSI aims to further advance the field of Quantum-Safe communications by integrating quantum and classical technologies in a highly collaborative approach through the realisation of interdisciplinary research projects, which bring together researchers in engineering, computer science, mathematics and physics.

Quantum Key Distribution with Enhanced Security and Performance

Alessandro Marcomini

Improve the implementation security and performance of prepare-and-measure QKD setups, particularly those based on quantum interference. Investigate methods to address the authentication problem in QKD.

Secure Key-Exchange in a Quantum World

Silvia Ritsch

Modelling and developing secure KE protocols in a setting with quantum adversaries. Understanding the impact of quantum communications in this setting.

Quantum-Enhanced Secure Multiparty Computing

Álvaro Yángüez Bachiller

Developing efficient quantum-safe functionalities by embedding quantum subroutines in PQC schemes.

Quantum Security of Memory-Hard Functions

Gina Muuss

Investigate and establish the quantum security of memory-hard functions.

From Classical to Quantum Cryptoanalysis of Post-Quantum Cryptography

Massimo Ostuzzi

Design new quantum attacks for the post-quantum cryptosystems in NIST standardization.

Twin-Field Quantum Key Distribution on Installed Fibre Networks

Sergio Juárez

Autonomous prototype system for Twin-Field Quantum Key Distribution.

OUR PEOPLE

QSI provides research and training opportunities to a new generation of Doctoral Candidates, who, in the long-run, shall address the Grand Challenge of providing “Quantum-Safe Internet”, i.e., a communication infrastructure that is secure against not only classical attacks but also those enabled by quantum technologies.
