Testbed-Karte zur Quantenkommunikation in Deutschland
SQuaD dient als zentrale Anlaufstelle für Expertise und Infrastruktur der Quantenkommunikation in Deutschland. Dazu werden Akteure aus Forschung und Industrie zusammengeführt und bestehende Forschungsaufbauten der Partner zu öffentlich nutzbaren Testbeds für Quantenkommunikationstechnologie erweitert.
Die Testbed-Karte zeigt, wo in Deutschland Testbeds aus dem Bereich Quantenkommunikation bestehen oder geplant sind. Ist Ihr vorhandenes oder benötigtes Testbed noch nicht in der Karte aufgenommen, kontaktieren Sie uns bitte unter squad@ptb.de.

Testbed-Informationsblätter
Das Schirmprojekt Quantenkommunikation Deutschland (SQuaD) verfolgt das Ziel, ein strukturiertes Serviceangebot für die in Deutschland verfügbare Teststreckeninfrastruktur bereitzustellen. Dazu wurde ein umfassender Servicekatalog erstellt, der einen detaillierten Überblick über die oben gelisteten Testbeds bietet und hier als Download zur Verfügung steht.
Ergänzend gibt es für jedes Testbed ein Fact Sheet, in dem die zentralen Informationen zur Strecke übersichtlich zusammengefasst sind. Diese Informationsblätter sind über die untenstehende Tabelle abrufbar.
Parallel zur bereits bestehenden Testbed-Infrastruktur laufen mehrere Initiativen und Projekte, die darauf abzielen, die Testbed-Infrastruktur in Deutschland zu erweitern. Die Initiative zum Aufbau eines Glasfaser-Backbones für Quantenkommunikation sowie Zeit- und Frequenzverteilung in Deutschland wird hier vorgestellt.
