QNu Labs and SRMIST Establish Quantum Communications Lab to Train Educator Cohort

QNu Labs and SRMIST Establish Quantum Communications Lab to Train Educator Cohort Indian quantum cybersecurity developer QNu Labs has partnered with the SRM Institute of Science and Technology (SRMIST) to establish a dedicated Quantum Communications Lab and train the university’s first certified cohort of faculty members in quantum communications. Supported by India’s National Quantum Mission (NQM) and the Department of Science and Technology (DST), the workforce initiative focuses on training educators to scale quantum communications coursework across higher education institutions. Incubated at the IIT Madras Research Park, QNu Labs equipped the new laboratory at SRMIST’s Kattankulathur campus with deployed, industry-grade hardware—the same quantum-safe technology utilized across national defense and banking infrastructure. Rather than relying on simulated software environments, the facility provides students and academic researchers with physical quantum key distribution (QKD) hardware and quantum-safe infrastructure to build, test, and benchmark real-world cryptographic applications. Through the QNu Academy framework, the initial faculty cohort underwent training and professional certification in quantum communications. By qualifying educators to deliver standardized quantum communications courses, the joint initiative aims to scale quantum education across SRMIST’s academic programs, creating a direct workforce pipeline of industry-ready quantum engineers and security specialists in alignment with national skilling objectives. The inaugural ceremony was attended by Dr. JBV Reddy (Head of the Quantum Technology Cell at NQM), Dr. C. Muthamizhchelvan (Vice Chancellor of SRMIST), Sunil Gupta (CEO and Co-founder of QNu Labs), and representatives from T-Hub. The lab deployment strengthens SRMIST’s quantum research infrastructure alongside its existing physical hardware initiatives under the National Quantum Mission.

SpaceWERX Physics-Constrained AI Cuts Space Object ID Time by 99%

The U.S. Space Force’s innovation arm, SpaceWERX, has awarded BosonQ Psi Federal LLC (BQP) its first federal contract to develop a new approach to identifying the thousands of objects detected daily by the U.S. Space Surveillance Network. Between 18,000 and 25,000 observations are collected each day, and a significant portion remain unidentified, posing challenges to space situational awareness. BQP will build a Physics-Constrained Quantum-Assisted Machine Learning (PC-QAML) software application designed to accelerate and improve the accuracy of object identification in orbit, reducing AI model size by 99% while maintaining over 99% classification accuracy. “Our goal is to make advanced AI practical where it matters most: on satellites and forward-deployed systems operating with limited computing power and intermittent communications,” said Rut Lineswala, Founder and CTO of BQP. BQP Secures SBIR Contract for Quantum-Assisted Space Domain Awareness This funding validates BQP’s technology and establishes the New York-based company as a player in the U.S. federal market, fostering collaboration with stakeholders focused on understanding the space environment. Unlike conventional AI approaches reliant on cloud computing or powerful GPUs, BQP’s solution is engineered for deployment on resource-constrained edge devices, like space-qualified processors. This efficiency translates to a tenfold reduction in inference latency and approximately 90% lower power consumption compared to traditional machine learning methods, as demonstrated on an NVIDIA Jetson Nano at the BMC3I TAP LAB. This capability is particularly crucial for Space Domain Awareness, where rapid distinction between routine activity and potential threats, such as satellite maneuvers or electronic interference, is paramount. The technology builds upon prior work with the Space Domain Awareness Tap Lab and supports objectives for both Space Operations Command (SpOC) Mission Delta 2 and Space Systems Command (SSC);

QNu Labs Achieves 8,000 Secure Bits Per Second QKD

QNu Labs has demonstrated secure key generation at a rate of 8,000 bits per second using its ARMOS Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) platform at typical metropolitan distances, a speed capable of supporting real-time encryption for sensitive data. Independent validation by VIAVI Solutions confirms ARMOS can maintain this secure communication over 200 kilometers of standard telecom fiber, achieving 40 decibels of loss without signal amplification, which surpasses limitations of many existing QKD systems. A key finding of the study is the system’s ability to coexist with existing 10 Gbps networks, eliminating the need for costly infrastructure overhauls. “As the industry moves closer to a quantum-driven reality, the need for proven, deployment-ready security solutions becomes critical,” said Sunil Gupta, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, QNu Labs, highlighting the significance of this advancement toward scalable quantum-safe communication. ARMOS QKD Achieves 200 KM Range with Sub-4% Error Rates The ARMOS Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) system has demonstrated secure communication across distances up to 200 kilometers of standard telecom fiber, a feat validated by an independent study conducted with VIAVI Solutions. This achievement addresses a significant limitation of many QKD implementations, as the system maintained secure key generation without relying on signal amplification, even with 40 decibels of signal loss. At these extended ranges, ARMOS sustained a key generation rate of approximately 200 secure bits per second, proving reliable operation under varied network conditions. The platform’s operational resilience was further demonstrated through autonomous recovery from simulated fiber cuts within minutes, maintaining stable key generation without manual intervention. Under controlled conditions, ARMOS achieved key generation rates of up to 8,000 secure bits per second at typical metro distances of around 50 kilometers, enabling real-time encryption for high

India’s National Quantum Mission Achieves 1,000-km Milestone via QNu Labs and VIAVI Validation

India’s National Quantum Mission Achieves 1,000-km Milestone via QNu Labs and VIAVI Validation The National Quantum Mission (NQM) has reached a pivotal technical landmark with the successful demonstration of a 1,000-km quantum communication network, one of the longest in the world. Announced by Union Minister for Science & Technology Dr. Jitendra Singh during a review of the Department of Science and Technology (DST), this achievement comes less than two years after the mission’s October 2024 launch. The milestone significantly outpaces the original eight-year roadmap, which aimed for a 2,000-km reach, and establishes a secure national backbone for defense, financial systems, and critical infrastructure using entirely indigenous technology. The 1,000-km network was enabled by QNu Labs, a startup supported under the NQM that specializes in quantum-safe cybersecurity. To ensure the reliability of this infrastructure, QNu Labs conducted an independent validation study with VIAVI Solutions using the industry-standard MAP-300 test platform. This study established that the underlying ARMOS Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) platform can achieve secure key generation over distances of up to 200 km on standard telecom fiber (40 dB loss) without signal amplification. By chaining these high-performance links, the NQM has been able to scale toward its current 1,000-km benchmark. A critical technical breakthrough highlighted in the validation is the ability of the quantum signal to coexist with 10 Gbps classical data traffic on the same fiber. Utilizing a proprietary decoy-state Differential Phase Shift (DPS) protocol, the ARMOS platform effectively doubles the transmission range of conventional QKD systems while maintaining a Quantum Bit Error Rate (QBER) below 4%. At typical metro distances, the system achieves generation rates of 8,000 bits per second, providing the high-speed entropy required to secure real-time, high-value data flows without requiring a costly redesign of
