QUASAR Centre announces the launch of the National Quantum Communication Infrastructure Plan of Bulgaria

The construction of the first of its kind quantum communication network in Bulgaria was officially launched on 10 February.

The initiative is aimed at building a unified quantum-communication network across the European Union, with Brussels aiming to ensure cybersecurity and communication sovereignty. The advanced computing capabilities of quantum computers make standard cyber defence increasingly difficult. It is for this reason that in 2020 the European Commission launched the EuroQCI Initiative, in which the Member States of the European Union participate. Eventually, all networks should be brought together into a single European network through interconnections. In Bulgaria, the construction of EuroQCI will be coordinated by the National Centre for Quantum Communication, [...]
