Use case
Critical infrastructure
Critical infrastructure — transport, telecommunications, water, healthcare — relies on interconnected systems for which availability and security are essential. Quantum communication technologies offer new safeguards to protect these systems.
Key Areas
The digitalisation of critical infrastructure has significantly improved its efficiency, but it has also expanded its attack surface. Industrial control systems, communication networks and centralised management platforms must exchange data continuously and securely.
In this context, quantum communications enable the development of more robust security mechanisms, particularly for the most sensitive exchanges. The ability to detect any interception in real time is a key factor in building confidence in these systems.

The potential applications cover a wide range: securing smart transport networks, protecting water management systems, strengthening communications within healthcare infrastructure, and securing telecommunications networks.
Large-scale test platforms enable these applications to be validated under realistic conditions. They provide operators of critical infrastructure with a space to experiment, understand the technical implications and anticipate the changes required to integrate these technologies into their environments.
