The First Scalable Quatum Internet Connection in the Port of Rotterdam! This Thursday June 20th, Oscar van Veen, Director of Innovation at Port of Rotterdam will share his story about how the Port of Rotterdam, as part of the Quantum Delta NL programme, together with a consortium of the Port of Rotterdam Authority, Q*BIRD B.V., Single Quantum, Cisco, Eurofiber, Portbase, Intermax and InnovationQuarter succeeded in being the first in the world to build a scalable quantum internet connection in the port of Rotterdam. A trial setup demonstrated that the use of quantum technology prevents access to sensitive information. In the future, this new communication system could improve the security of the tens of thousands of seagoing vessels that visit the port every year and also better secure the resulting economic traffic from the threat of quantum computers. We are excited to welcome Oscar van Veen this Thursday to share his insights on this amazing journey and the challeges they overcame to reach this ground breaking result! You can still join us as well. For more information and how to join the 20th June. Click on the link in the comments! #Quantum #Quantuminnovation #mainports #Mainportsecurity
