Quantum technologies

The "Quantum Technologies" competence covers the following areas:
- quantum cryptography;
- quantum computers.

Quantum cryptography-solves information security issues, guaranteeing the safety of data by the fundamental laws of quantum mechanics.

Quantum computers are computing devices that operate with qubits, which provides a computational advantage over conventional computers in a number of algorithms.
