SpeQtral
Quantum Key Distribution for secure communication
SpeQtral is a Singapore-headquartered startup spinning out from the Center for Quantum Technologies (CQT), developing a satellite-based Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) system for secure communication and Cybersecurity. SpeQtral's proprietary Quantum light source produces entangled photons which can then be used to distribute encryption keys securely. The entangled nature of the photons used makes it possible to identify and discard any keys which may have been intercepted. They are one of the first and few companies to have demonstrated a Quantum light source in space, and they now have the opportunity to translate this into a first mover advantage with superior technology.
