Quantum mechanics to protect data and communications

Research by Professors Frédéric Nabki and Ghyslain Gagnon september 28, 2021

The challenge: integrating a quantum cryptographic key into a standard chip
A functional prototype, developed in collaboration between ÉTS and the Université de Sherbrooke, demonstrated that the technology could be integrated into an electronic board.

The team of Professors Gagnon and Nabki will try to push the limits of this prototype by integrating it into a standard CMOS chip. If this integration works, it will make it possible to manufacture at low cost a very secure quantum cryptographic key that will be compatible with multifunction integrated circuits. In other words, this quantum key could be integrated into everyday objects, which is currently impossible.

"It is estimated that approximately 230,000 new types of cyberattacks are deployed every day and that nearly 50% of major attack groups are state-sponsored. These data show that securing communications is a critical issue for our societies," said Professor Gagnon.

This research, which will be carried out in collaboration with Quantum eMotion, received a $209,000 grant from the Prompt program.
