Quantum Network Engineer

For network and telecom engineers who evaluate, design and deploy quantum networks. Earn CQNE and CQNA, then learn the post-quantum migration rules for your sector.

We list your industry’s Quantum Technology course first. In it, you learn which use cases organizations in your sector fund, including quantum networking, and how far each has progressed.

CQNE validates that you understand quantum networking and quantum key distribution (QKD), from the physics to deployment. You need no physics background to start. CQNA validates that you can design quantum networks for enterprise and government, and it requires an active CQNE.

We end with the Quantum-Safe overview for your industry. In it, you learn the post-quantum regulations and deadlines your organization has to meet. For a carrier network, that course is Quantum-Safe Telecommunications.
