Quantum Hackathon

May 9 @ 9:00 am - 5:00 pm

Are you a developer, researcher or an enthusiast with an interest in cybersecurity and quantum technology? Join the QCIned Hackathon and build your own quantum-safe application on SURF’s Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) testbed.

During this exciting challenge, you will build quantum-safe applications or systems leveraging quantum-safe cryptography using SURF’s quantum key distribution (QKD) testbed and the ETSI 014 interface. Share your expertise about quantum-safe communication, improve your knowledge about quantum key distribution and bring real-world use cases to life.

Who should participate?
Anyone with an interest in quantum-safe communication and good coding skills.

Programme

9.00 – 10.00 Walk-in and introduction (QKD, ETSI 014)
10.00 – 12.00 Hackathon

16.30 – 17.00 Project showcases
17.00 – 19.00 Drinks

Format

  • As a participant you can work individually or in small teams (2-5 people).
  • Challenge: implement a quantum-safe application or system, using QKD infrastructure and ETSI 014, to protect data or communication from quantum threats.
  • Projects must be based on QKD and ETSI 014 interface.
  • As a participants you can run your code on SURF’s QKD testbed between Amsterdam and Utrecht.
  • Everybody presents or demonstrates the implemented solutions (5-10 minutes).
