Disclaimer: This post was written when Quantum Xchange was focused on building and selling the first quantum network in the U.S.
We have since pivoted our business and product offering, with the invention of Phio Trusted Xchange (TX), a first-of-its-kind quantum-safe, out-of-band key delivery system. While our technology offering can support QKD deployments, we are not a quantum communications provider or reseller. Our quantum-safe key exchange supports quantum keys generated from any source(QRNG or QKD) protected by any method (all PQC key encapsulation algorithms).
In a recent podcast hosted by the National Academy of Engineering, Randy Atkins of WTOP News, discusses the super-powerful quantum computer and the steps to encrypt data.
As an expert in the quantum industry, John Prisco, CEO of Quantum Xchange explains how quantum keys are made. Prisco describes the quantum key as made of light and if someone interrupts the fiber optic, it would dislodge the photons that make up the key renders the key useless. According to Prisco, such an intrusion would be easily detected.
With fiber-optic stretching from New York to New Jersey, the quantum network is in progress and plans to stretch from Boston to Washington DC.
