Past July, GTD formalized its entry into the capital of LUXQUANTA, a start-up specialized in quantum cryptology that was recently born as a spin-off of ICFO, the Institute of Photonic Sciences of Barcelona Both, GTD and CORNING (USA) have taken an industrial participation in the young company that aims to be a unique provider of quantum-safe security solutions for current communication infrastructures. This investment will enable LuxQuanta to bring technology from the lab to commercialization, enabling the deployment of quantum key distribution technology for securing digital data in the near future. LuxQuanta’s CTO Sebastian Etcheverry commented ‘’This investment is an important first step for LuxQuanta to become a leading provider of quantum-safe solutions. GTD and Corning are companies whose technology is complementary to LuxQuanta products. We are very excited to work with them to leverage synergies and build strong collaboration,” About LuxQuanta LuxQuant (www.luxquanta.com), ICFO’s 10th spin-off company, launched in May 2021.
