Workshop: Towards a South-East European Quantum Network
University of Trieste, 17th May 2019

The European Commission places significant emphasis on quantum 
technologies. A recent report
entitled ‘The impact of quantum technologies on EU’s future policies 
part 2 – Quantum Communications:
from science to policies’, by the European Commission’s Joint Research 
Centre (JRC) argued that ‘Quantum physics
yields cryptographic applications which are expected to contribute to 
communications security [...].
Technology development programmes in quantum communications, including 
the deployment
of quantum networks, are therefore being funded worldwide. Europe should 
accelerate the industrial
uptake of its scientific knowledge in the field.’

Central Europe is reacting to this need with the QUAPITAL Project 
(www.quapital.eu),
’the first reliable quantum internet on top of Europe’s glass fiber 
network’, of which Trieste is the Italian partner.

Goal of the workshop is to discuss the challenges to be faced, to create 
a glass fiber quantum network
in the Region Friuli-Venezia Giulia, to be connected to Central Europe 
via QUAPITAL.
