LG Nexera an industry partner for EU Horizon OptiQ project

The OptiQ project is a collaborative effort between academia, research, and industry, with the goal of advancing quantum computing through non-standard data and image processing methods. The project involves the Silesian University of Technology in Poland, the Austrian Institute of Technology, Security Business Austria, Boson Energy from Luxembourg, LG Nexera from Vienna, and Envelo from Warsaw. The focus of the project is on quantum image processing and security, and the deployment potential of these applications in the green energy and digital secure communication sectors. The OptiQ project is a research program that generates novel skills for all consortium participants, providing interdisciplinary and intersectoral staff training that serves as a basis for technology transfer and knowledge sharing.

The project strengthens collaboration between participants in quantum computing and communication and optical image processing, particularly in the technology of entangled photons production and its application to quantum security, quantum block-chain technology, and quantum communication. The consortium is also considering an Augmented Reality aided simulator and designer of optical quantum setups to facilitate contact with quantum optics. The project places particular emphasis on wide and efficient dissemination and communication.

The OptiQ project is funded by the European Union's Horizon Europe research and innovation program under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 101080374. The project not only strengthens the career perspectives of participating scientists but also becomes the foundation for lasting collaborations in exploiting results, thus increasing the competitiveness of the European Research Area and industry on the world's quantum computing and communication scene.
