Quantum random number generators (QRNGs) are widely recognised as the most effective solution for generating true random numbers, essential in cryptography and other applications requiring the highest standards of randomness. Several quantum phenomena have been explored for QRNGs, such as:…
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is transforming data encryption, making it virtually unbreakable by leveraging the laws of quantum mechanics. Unlike classical cryptography, where cryptographic keys can be intercepted and copied by adversaries, QKD protocols enable the distribution of secret truly…
In 2015, the United Nations General Assembly declared 11 February as the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. At HellasQCI, we honor the brilliant women shaping the future of science and technology. On the International Day for…
The European Commission and the European Space Agency (ESA) have signed an agreement to advance the implementation of the European Quantum Communication Infrastructure (EuroQCI). This initiative aims to establish a quantum-safe communication network across the EU and its territories by…
In a Netweek magazine article (January 2025) titled “Priority on Innovation and Security at GRNET”, Dimitris Mitropoulos, Head of the Reliability Engineering Directorate (GRE) at GRNET and Assistant Professor at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA), underscores the…
The pan-European event “QCI Days Athens 2025” will take place from 28 to 30 April 2025 at the Eugenides Foundation, held under the auspices of the Hellenic Ministry of Digital Governance, with the support of the General Secretariat of Telecommunications…
Greece has been selected as one of two central hubs for the European Union’s secure satellite communications program, GOVSATCOM, another landmark initiative aimed at enhancing the EU’s autonomous satellite communication capabilities. Alongside Germany, Greece will play a pivotal role in…
This detailed article by A. Staveris, former Secretary General of Telecommunications and Posts published on InfoCom.gr on January 7, 2025, with an introduction by the journalist Christos Kotsakas, presents an in-depth analysis of the significance of Quantum Communication Infrastructure (QCI)…
