Quantum Networking and QKD Essentials – Live Online (EMEA & APAC), April 2027
How quantum key distribution works, where it fits alongside PQC rather than instead of it, network architectures, and an honest view of deployment costs, constraints, and maturity.
Network engineers, security engineers, telecom professionals, government and defense technology specialists, and technical evaluators assessing quantum networking proposals.
What you will cover
- Explain QKD protocols (BB84, E91, MDI-QKD, decoy-state) and the security properties they provide
- Evaluate quantum network architectures: point-to-point, trusted-node (and why “trusted” is doing a lot of work), and entanglement-based
- Assess quantum networking hardware components (single-photon detectors, sources, QRNGs)
- Analyze QKD security including the gap between theoretical proofs and implementation reality
- Evaluate global quantum networking deployments (China’s Hefei-Shanghai backbone, European deployments, US programs)
- Determine when QKD is an appropriate technology choice and when PQC alone is sufficient
