The VQCC at
the QSI conference

16/03/2026

Researchers from the Vigo Quantum Communication Center (VQCC) took part in the QSI Conference held in Paris the week of March 16, a key event within the Quantum-Safe Internet (QSI) project, bringing together leading experts in quantum communication and post-quantum cryptography (PQC).

Among the VQCC representatives, Prof. Marcos Curty and Dr. Davide Rusca, with his talk: “Implementation security in experimental QKD” were present at the conference, contributing to discussions on the latest advances in quantum cryptography and PQC technologies.

Their participation highlights the strong involvement of the VQCC in international initiatives aimed at developing a quantum-safe internet infrastructure, a critical challenge for the future of secure communications.

In addition, two doctoral candidates from the VQCC, Alessandro Marcomini and Vaisakh Mannalath, actively involved in the QSI project, also attended the event. These early-stage researchers presented their work and engaged with the international community, reinforcing the role of VQCC as a hub for emerging talent in quantum technologies. Previous QSI-related conferences have provided similar opportunities for doctoral candidates to present their research results in areas such as quantum key distribution and quantum communication systems .

The participation of both senior researchers and doctoral candidates underscores VQCC’s commitment to excellence in research, collaboration, and training within the rapidly evolving field of quantum communications.
