On May 18th will be held at Centro Von Braun a Tec-Day Event, which will address the theme of quantum technologies to present our work fronts and for the public to have a hands-on experience in the implementation of quantum algorithms - bring your Notebook!
The Wernher Von Braun Advanced Research Center, in partnership with universities and national and international companies, as well as its Startups Hashdata and NtropiQ, are investing resources in the development of new products and services based on quantum technologies. The network has the support and participation of six universities of excellence in the area of Quantics, as well as several companies.
The initial focus of the group is the development of an advanced security system for fiber optic communication, using quantum principles that ensure the inviolability of information, making it naturally immune to spy and data theft. What guarantees this feature is the quantum phenomenon that demonstrates that by interacting with a light particle (as when observing this particle, a photon, for example), it will change its quantum state and this will change which receiver channel is will arrive on, so we can infer whether the information received is safe or if there was any kind of violation on its way.
The project is led by Prof. Celso Jorge Villas Boas, professor at the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) and coordinator of extension projects in quantum technologies with the Von Braun Center.
The initiative went on publication in the magazine Valor Econômico, can be accessed through this link.
The Von Braun Center develops projects in the area of quantum technologies through its NTropiQ startup. The large areas of expertise of the startup are:
