Bristol start-up part of £9m quantum project
A Bristol start-up is part of a £9m project that seeks to develop the data centre of the future.
KETS Quantum Security is part of the Quantum Data Centre of the Future project, which will explore how quantum systems can help manage and secure the growing amount and complexity of data.
Technology firm KETS will look after the quantum security side of the project, which is headed up by ORCA Computing and funded by UKRI.
The project will target the internal operation of data centres as well as how users access data and computing resources remotely.
The goal is to provide a future-proof system that is secured against computing attacks.

“We’re excited to be working with such a talented group of industry leaders, bringing together experts in quantum technologies & cybersecurity, data centres and telecommunications to develop communications for the data centre of the future.
“These direct collaborations across the value chain will enable development of solutions that can be deployed not only in the future, but also today.”
KETS specialises in quantum-safe communications, and its hardware is based on technology developed over a decade ago at the University of Bristol.
