Oxford, United Kingdom – 30 November 2023 – Quantum Dice, a University of Oxford spin-out pioneering quantum random number generator (QRNG) technology, and SpeQtral, a leading quantum communication company, have unveiled developments for the SpeQtral-1 mission featuring Quantum Dice's Zenith QRNG.
The Zenith QRNG is a compact, space-grade quantum random number generator designed to operate reliably in the extreme conditions of space. It will provide verifiable, high-quality entropy for quantum key distribution on the SpeQtral-1 satellite.
This collaboration represents a significant milestone in bringing quantum secure communication from space to reality, enabling global quantum networks that can securely distribute encryption keys over long distances.
The partnership demonstrates the versatility of Quantum Dice's DISC™ technology, which can be adapted for the unique requirements of space-based applications while maintaining continuous verification of entropy quality.
