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
