LuxQuanta’s technology and IP originated in the ICFO research group led by ICREA Prof Valerio Pruneri. The investment from Corning and GTD will enable LuxQuanta to bring technology from the lab to commercialization, enabling the deployment of quantum key distribution technology for securing digital data in the near future.
“This investment is an important first step for LuxQuanta to become a leading provider of quantum-safe solutions. GTD and Corning are companies whose technology is complementary to LuxQuanta products. We are very excited to work with them to leverage synergies and build strong collaboration,” commented LuxQuanta’s CTO Sebastian Etcheverry.
