IIT-Delhi achieves record-breaking quantum communication, advances cybersecurity

Researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi have successfully demonstrated secure quantum communication over a distance of 380 kilometers in standard telecom fiber. The team managed to maintain an impressively low Quantum Bit Error Rate, making the quantum communication resistant to collective and individual attacks. "This QKD demonstration paves ways for more secure long-distance communication useful for strategic areas such as defense and online banking, making digital transactions safer in the near future," Kanseri told PTI. The successful demonstration of this technology marks a crucial step towards the commercial production of long-distance secure practical QKD devices, further strengthening India's position in the global quantum technology landscape.
