The project focuses on continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CV-QKD) systems, integrating hardware components like narrow-linewidth lasers and quantum random number generators, software-defined key management, secret-sharing appliances, and coexistence frameworks for quantum and classical channels over existing fiber. QUARTERNEXT will collaborate with the Nostradamus European certification initiative and validate systems in Telefónica's live telecom network. It builds on the prior QUARTER project and aligns with the EU's EuroQCI initiative and European photonic sovereignty goals. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
