  • Lunch Time Seminar Series by Steven Touzard

    April 29, 2024  12:30 pm - 1:30 pm

    Venue:CQT Level 3 Seminar Room, S15-03-15

    Title:Progress towards building a quantum network of superconducting circuits

    Abstract:Our group was funded two years ago on the promise that we would entangle a superconducting qubit with telecom photons. Such entangled states are critical to create Quantum Networks, with applications in safe quantum computing, quantum communication and sensing. To this end, we have been investigating three research directions: coupling superconducting circuits to rare-earth ions, coupling optical resonators to rare-earth ions, and creating parametric amplifiers to efficiently retrieve quantum information from superconducting circuits. In this talk, we will give a broad overview of our project, as well as an update on the progress of these research directions.

  • 10th ETSI/IQC Quantum Safe Cryptography Conference

    May 14, 2024 - May 16, 2024  

    Venue: Catapult @ Rochester Commons
    1 Rochester Park, #02-01 Rochester Commons, Singapore 139212

    Title:10th ETSI/IQC Quantum Safe Cryptography Conference

    Abstract:Join us in marking this important milestone by contributing with a talk, proposing a panel discussion or simply coming along to learn more about this rapidly evolving field and meet the key players behind these important maturing technologies.
    We increasingly rely on cyber technologies, and hence are ever more vulnerable to cyber-attacks. As progress toward a cryptographically relevant quantum computer advances, these attack vectors grow and the imperative to prepare for a transition to quantum secure technologies continues to increase. In response, standardization efforts are accelerating; the initial NIST PQC standards are due in 2024, and our working groups here at ETSI are active in evaluating these and how they will fit into existing protocols, applications and public-key infrastructures. Hence solutions are starting to become commercially available, best practices are being developed and shared, and the ability to transition in a secure and cost-effective way continues to increase. This is a continually evolving and complex journey and much remains to be understood and navigated.

    This event was designed for members of the business, government, and research communities with a stake in cryptographic standardization to facilitate the knowledge exchange and collaboration required to transition cyber infrastructures and business practices to make them safe in an era with quantum computers. It aims to showcase both the most recent developments from industry and government and cutting-edge potential solutions coming out of the most recent research.

    Conference Objectives:
    Showcase recent research, initiatives and standardization activities worldwide
    Bring together key players from industry, academia, government and standardization bodies
    Facilitate networking and relationship-building opportunities
    Encourage discussion and critical thinking around pertinent topics
    Provide actionable steps and takeaways for novices wanting to begin their quantum-safe migration
