Quantum technology is advancing quickly. Exciting times! Its unparalleled computing power brings great opportunities as well as uncertainty. It’s both a chance and a challenge. How to protect our critical infrastructure if quantum technology is used to compromise our data? QCINed addresses this challenge by using the same technology to protect us.

The first quantum-safe networks are already here

QCINEd is preparing the Netherlands for the quantum era. We have deployed quantum-resistant communication networks to safeguard the data integrity for critical sectors and government.

Today, three quantum-encrypted networks are operational for testing and training, each designed with unique objectives and distinct specifications.

Three Quantum Key Distribution networks

Utrecht area

A network providing automated QKD services. By adding a new quantum layer to the operational classic domain, it lays the groundwork for a future national Quantum Network.

Three Quantum Key Distribution networks

Eindhoven area

A pre-staging testbed network to test and validate relevant technologies with the goal to deploy an QKD & Industry agnostic testbed.

Quantum Communications Untangled

QCINed’s video series brings together leading experts from partner organizations to show how quantum‑secure technologies are protecting critical infrastructure and building resilient communication networks.

Episode 1 – SURF: Wojciech Kozlowski explains how quantum communication is embedded into today’s digital infrastructure, with Quantum Key Distribution securing networks across the Utrecht–Amsterdam region.
Episode 2 – QuCT NL: Simon Rommel introduces the Netherlands’ new Quantum Communications Testbed, where post‑quantum cryptography and QKD are tested in real‑world fibre networks.
Episode 3 – Q*Bird: Ingrid Romijn, CEO and Co‑Founder, demonstrates how quantum‑secure solutions such as the MDI QKD Falqon® Series are safeguarding the nation’s most critical data infrastructure against advanced cyber‑attacks.
Episode 4 – QuTech: Discover Quantum Network Explorer (QNE), a powerful learning platform that combines reading, animated explanations, and hands‑on coding to help you understand quantum networks and join a global community of learners and developers.

Watch the series and see how QCINed is building quantum‑resistant communication networks to safeguard the future.

Superpositioned for the quantum era

Together with TU Delft, TU Eindhoven, Q*Bird, and RINIS, we are working hard to mitigate the challenges of quantum technology so we can fully benefit from the amazing opportunities it offers.
