Belden cooperates with Chicago Quantum Exchange
Networks for the quantum age
Belden, a provider of connectivity solutions, has announced a partnership with the Chicago Quantum Exchange (CQE), a center for quantum science and engineering. The aim is to prepare network infrastructures for the challenges of the quantum age.
The commercial use of quantum computers is getting closer. Experts estimate that "Q-Day" - the time when quantum computers will be able to crack certain encryptions - could come as early as 2029. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has adopted standards for post-quantum cryptography in 2024 and recommends their introduction by 2030.
The partnership gives Belden access to quantum research, start-ups and collaborations with technology companies, laboratories and universities. The company wants to test security solutions and gradually make networks quantum-safe. Belden is thus positioning itself as a pioneer in the industry's transition to quantum-safe communication.
"From a technology perspective, this partnership positions us perfectly at the intersection of quantum communications and industrial networking," said Dr. Oliver Kleineberg, Vice President of Technology at Belden. "While post-quantum cryptography continues to take center stage, we are innovating at the intersection of quantum and classical networks to improve our customers' operations and enable more secure, resilient and powerful hybrid networks."
The CQE, based at the University of Chicago, collaborates with several universities, laboratories and industry partners to train professionals and promote the quantum economy.
