First International Quantum Communication Conclave

Secure communication is always a challenge. The traditional key based cryptography has become vulnerable for attacks. Today, hackers have adequate computing power to retrieve the key from the encrypted text in real time. The loophole here is the continuation of the communication as the message sending patty is unaware of the compromise. An alert when the intruder meddles with the encrypted data or the key that gets transferred to the receiver would be very helpful to stop further damage. Quantum communication supports this paradigm In addition, Quantum computers can provide the much required computing power for breaking the key based secure communication system. To protect the channels from such attacks, Post Quantum Cryptography is picking up.

Secure transfer of the content at very large data rates is the need of the hour to support a plethora of use cases involving banking, transportation, Defense, power distribution, healthcare etc. advancements in quantum physics and communication technologies spanning the emerging 5g and the upcoming 6G have provides the required tools to support these use cases. While standard implementations and benchmarking mechanisms are available in some cases, they still need a lot of customizations. in this conclave experts from across the globe share their implementation experiences, advancements in technologies, utilization of test beds etc. The conclave presents numerous keynote speeches from the experts, Panel discussions and demonstrations. It provides opportunities to connect and collaborate with the domain experts, researchers, policy makers and the industries. The conclave targets emerging and future technologies spanning but not limited to

• Quantum Key Distribution
• Quantum Random Number Generator
• Post Quantum Cryptography
• Quantum Networks
• Sensors
• Advanced detectors
• Quantum memory
• Testbeds
• Quantum communication Standards
• Use cases
• Implementation issues

It is expected to be useful for the academia and Research community, Service providers, Start-up companies, Standard defining organizations and Regulatory policy makers

One of the objectives of this event is to provides an opportunity for collaboration and partnership among the participants to enable them to work on advanced quantum technologies. It involves the exchange of know-how of implementations, upcoming technology alternatives to address implementation challenges etc.
