SIG-Quantum aims at providing a forum for the community working around quantum technologies, including quantum networking, computing, sensing, cryptography and communication across Research and Education Networks. It will gather and exchange experiences, ideas and knowledge on the development, deployment, testing and standardisation of quantum solutions, leading to the development of a coherent quantum strategy across GEANT and the evaluation and testing of suitable quantum technologies. The SIG will have an advisory role to GEANT GPPC and relevant project management/coordination function.


 Aims:

  1. To provide a forum for gathering and exchanging experiences, ideas and knowledge on the development, deployment, testing and standardisation of quantum technologies across R&E networks, with a particular focus on quantum computing, networking, communication, cryptography and sensing. This will be achieved through group meetings (online and face-to-face), the use of online collaborative tools, collating and dissemination of information or organising pilot projects;

  2. To define agreed objectives and commitment levels related to the operation and management of quantum-based devices and protocols;

  3. To make recommendations and play the role of a technical adviser. 


Running period:

This is the first year of operation of SIG-Quantum, established in February 2025.

SIG-TFN Sustainability working group:


Team
Richard Lui (WG leader)
Raphaël Marion
Christian Chardonnet
Wojbor Bogacki
Christian Lisdat
Davide Calonico

Objectives

  • Investigate a path to sustainability of the CLONETS-DS C-TFN, both for GÉANT and for participating NRENs and NMIs.
  • Carry out cost modelling to identify the extent of the future funding needs for fibre and flywheels.
  • Shepard funding through governance of GN5-2.
  • Engage EURAMET, NRENs, GÉANT and the European Commission to find solutions to long-term funding.

SIG-TFN technical working group:


Team
Guy Roberts (WG leader)
Jeroen Koelemeij
Jochen Kronjaeger
Raphaël Marion
Krzysztof Turza
Jacques-Olivier Gaudron


Objectives

  • Expand on the CLONETS-DS architecture and integrate lessons learnt from PTB-PSNC pathfinder.
  • Investigate if tiers of flywheel performance are needed e.g NMI flywheel, NREN flywheel, etc.
  • Prepare a C-TFN architecture.
  • Prepare a technical specification for the C-TFN flywheels.
  • Prepare a technical specification for the GÉANT cross-border fibre links.
