LuxQuanta Welcomes NANO-GLASS Researcher for Quantum Memory Development

Plascencia will spend three months of secondment at LuxQuanta. During these periods, she will receive instruction in the technical practices and business aspects relevant to her individual research project, which focuses on designing and fabricating an efficient quantum memory for integration into an optical telecommunication fiber network.
“For LuxQuanta, this an incredible opportunity to contribute with our experience and expertise to the formation of the next generation of professionals in the field of quantum technologies. As a company that has science and innovation as its core values, participating in a project like NANO-GLASS is particularly meaningful to us. “At LuxQuanta, we dedicate our expertise in Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) systems to bolstering the research and training program of this initiative,” stated Vanesa Diaz, CEO of LuxQuanta. “We believe that our involvement will not only benefit the NANO-GLASS project but also help advance the future of quantum technologies as a whole”.
“Susana will have the exciting opportunity to experience the sparkling Luxquanta spin-off ecosystem, learn new potential applications for the technology she is developing and generate new synergetic quantum communication schemes”, said Valerio Pruneri, NANO-GLASS coordinator and ICREA professor at ICFO.

Established in 2021, LuxQuanta possesses expertise in Quantum Technologies and specifically focuses its activities on the research and development of Quantum Cryptography systems. These systems leverage the unique properties of quantum physics to enable secure data transmission in telecommunication networks. Furthermore, the company actively participates in other European research projects, notably leading the QUARTER project and contributing to the Quantum Secure Network Partnership (QSNP). LuxQuanta received the 2022 National Innovation Award from the Department of Research and Universities of the Government of Catalonia and the Foundation for Research and Innovation of Catalonia (FCRi) in recognition of its innovative contributions.
