Insider Brief - Q*Bird and the Walton Institute at SETU deployed Ireland’s first multi-node, entanglement-based MDI-QKD network over existing fiber, marking a shift from research to operational national quantum-secure infrastructure within the IrelandQCI and EuroQCI frameworks. - The telecom-grade network connects data centers and universities in Dublin through a hub-and-spoke architecture with dy...
This deployment represents a significant step in operationalizing quantum-secure communication, moving beyond theoretical research into live national infrastructure. The strongest version of this narrative emphasizes the collaborative success of industry and academia in addressing a critical gap in cybersecurity—preparing for quantum-enabled threats while maintaining compatibility with existing systems. The use of MDI-QKD, which removes detector vulnerabilities, is a technical leap that strength...
