SG tests $8.5m national quantum-safe network

The project kicked off with 15 private and government agencies.

Singapore's Quantum Engineering Programme, supported by the National Research Foundation, will start conducting nationwide trials of quantum-safe communication technologies that promise robust network security for critical infrastructure and companies handling sensitive data.

The new National Quantum-Safe Network (NQSN) will deploy commercial technologies for trials with 15 government agencies and private companies, conduct an in-depth evaluation of security systems, and develop guidelines to support companies in adopting such technologies.

"Singapore can build on its heritage in quantum science, optics and cybersecurity engineering to become a trusted global provider of quantum network technology and services. In NQSN, we will bring quantum innovation to deployed optical networks and study operational issues such as a quantum network's reliability and resilience together with our industry partners," said NSQN principal investigator Charles Lim.

Hosted by the National University of Singapore, the initiative will receive $8.5m over three years. Collaborators will bring expertise, equipment and use-cases to the project.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
