Research – HSM-QCC

HSM-QCC at QuantERA Horizons Conference On 7 May 2025 in Gdańsk, the QuantERA-organized Quantum Horizons Conference: Science – Policy – Society brought together leading voices from academia, industry, funding agencies and the European Commission under Poland’s EU Presidency. From our team, Zoltán Kolarovszki joined panels on strategies for public awareness of quantum computing, the importance of international collaboration, the art of coordinating quantum research initiatives and the historical evolution of quantum information science. The conference agenda facilitated discussions on the latest advancements in quantum science and technology, encourage knowledge exchange, and foster collaborations within the field. In the closing session, attendees received a preview of the goals and structure of the upcoming QuantERA III....

Kick-off HSM-QCC project Launch high-potential research project to secure quantum computing A European consortium of leading academic universities and high-tech companies officially starts with a research project for developing a Hardware Security Module to enable Quantum Cloud Computing (HSM-QCC). The research initiative was awarded by QuantERA, a European network of Research Funding Organizations. Sorbonne University (France), Universities of Twente (The Netherlands), Edinburgh (UK) and Budapest (Hungary) collaborate with three high-tech companies: VeriQloud (France), Thales(France) and Quix Quantum (Germany). Within four years the consortium aims to develop a QEnclave for quantum computers, through combining expertise in quantum computing, cybersecurity and advanced computational technologies. The HSM-QCC project addresses critical challenges in quantum computing security by developing a QEnclave: a trusted execution environment that will enhance the confidentiality and integrity of quantum computational processes. To achieve this challenge a robust security mechanism for ensuring the privacy of quantum computing is needed. Based on earlier research performed by consortium members, the QEnclave will allow remote users to encrypt...
