New hub for quantum communication in Germany is being built in Erfurt: New research project Q-net-Q launched / 2023
"There is no way around Thuringia on the future quantum highway"

The Free State of Thuringia wants to become an important hub for the German quantum network. With various projects, the state, the federal government and the European Union are driving forward the expansion of a network for quantum communication in Germany. Existing test links for researching quantum-secured fiber links between Erfurt and Jena are now to be extended by new sections in the direction of Nordhausen and, in perspective, Berlin and Frankfurt am Main. A visit by Thuringia's Science Minister Wolfgang Tiefensee to the Fraunhofer Center in Erfurt on August 31, 2023 marked the start of further route expansion, which is being carried out as part of the new Q-net-Q research project.
