Dear colleagues, dear friends from the Russian Quantum Center,
We have engaged in your International Advisory Board to provide you with the support your excellence in science deserves – because we believe that cooperation in the international scientific community can build bridges of dialogue and ultimately contribute to world peace.
Today we are very sad. We need to count on the fact that dialogue prevails over violence, and instead, we see war in Ukraine. Under these circumstances, we do not want our advice and expertise to benefit directly or indirectly any government that is waging war.
We must therefore resign as members of the International Advisory Board of the Russian Quantum Center. We strongly hope that in the future the situation will be resolved so that we will be able to work with you again.
With deep pain,
Rainer Blatt

Project launch – QKISS : Developing ready-to-deploy European Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) systems
Funded by the European Commission under the Digital Europe programme, the QKISS (Quantum Key Industrial SystemS) project aims to develop high-performance, secure and certifiable European quantum key distribution (QKD) systems within 2 to 3 years. Launched in January 2023, the project brings together two high-tech industrial groups, Exail and Thales, and two leading academic teams from the Universities of Paris-Saclay and Sorbonne.
