Since 1967, Photonics Spectra magazine has defined the science and industry of photonics, providing both technical and practical information for every aspect of the global industry and promoting an international dialogue among the engineers, scientists, and end users who develop, commercialize and buy photonics products. Like many in the industry, Photonics Media is watching the world of quantum research as it unfolds. Recently, the publication interviewed Quantum Xchange’s CEO John Prisco to discuss quantum key distribution (QKD) and help its readers discern which information is need-to-know, which is thought leadership, and which is theoretical.
In the feature article titled, “3 Questions with John Prisco,” John outlines what QKD is and the role of photonics; describes the target audience for QKD; and explains quantum supremacy and why organizations need to take notice now and prepare for the quantum threat.
