Every component of the network looks excellent on a data sheet. But will it work in your quantum network design? Loss, noise, timing, decoherence, component characteristics, topology, protocols, and environmental conditions all interact at the network level. Optimizing each component independently doesn't guarantee the resulting system will meet your application's requirements. Aliro Simulator is designed to address this exact issue. Teams can model physical and optical behavior, compare hardware configurations and vendors, evaluate rates, fidelity and latency, test protocols, and explore network architectures before committing to deployment. Check out our Simulation Wizard to see what kind of information Aliro Simulator can provide. https://hubs.la/Q04sg4hF0 #QuantumNetworking #SecureNetworks

Building a quantum network does NOT require rebuilding the whole network from the ground up! Your organization already relies on technologies such as MACsec, IPsec, TLS, routers, switches, firewalls, and encryptors. Entanglement-based Quantum Secure Communications changes a different part of the architecture: how symmetric key material is generated and delivered. The quantum network can operate on the same fiber and run alongside your classical network, generating keys using entangled photons and delivering those keys to existing networking equipment through standard interfaces. Instead of “When can we replace our infrastructure with a quantum network?” the question becomes, “Which high-value links should receive an additional physics-based security layer first?” Quantum readiness can start with infrastructure you already operate.

This is what it looks like when quantum networking leaves the lab! Aliro is putting field-ready, entanglement-based quantum key distribution to work on ABQ-Net, New Mexico’s open-access quantum network testbed. This isn’t a fiber spool sitting on a lab bench. ABQ-Net runs across 50 kilometers of leased ISP fiber, including aerial fiber exposed to real environmental conditions. Aliro’s software, AlirOS, uses the BBM92 protocol to coordinate quantum key generation with Qunnect hardware, so a router can request quantum-generated key material as its needed. W think this is the part of quantum networking that deserves a lot more attention: making quantum hardware, software, fiber infrastructure, and classical networking equipment work together as an operational system. For banks, telecoms, utilities, and government organizations evaluating physics-based security, this is where the conversation gets practical.

Is your VPN ready for the quantum era? For decades, IPsec has been the foundation of secure communications across enterprise and government networks. But the emergence of quantum computing is forcing organizations to rethink how encryption keys are generated, exchanged, and protected. In this blog, Aliro Fellow Bruno Rijsman explores the evolving IPsec standards that enable integration with both Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) and entanglement-based quantum networking technologies: >> How IPsec is evolving to address quantum threats >> The role of PQC in future VPN deployments >>  How entanglement-based quantum networking can strengthen key exchange and data protection >> Why organizations should begin planning their quantum-safe networking strategy today Read the blog: https://hubs.la/Q04lV6HN0 #QuantumNetworking #SecureNetworks

Quantum security is advancing in New Mexico on ABQ-Net. Aliro is on the network this week demonstrating quantum secure communications, marking the first entanglement-based commercial QKD system running across long-haul aerial fibers in the U.S.. The joint demonstration showcases real-time secure key generation, clock synchronization, and active intrusion detection—all in one stack, operational over 50 km of deployed fiber. Stay tuned for more record-breaking results by this team! They're the first of four companies building on New Mexico's ABQ-Net, the open-access entanglement network anchored by Qunnect's Carina entanglement distribution system. What would it change if your systems caught a break-in the moment it happened?

There are 4 layers to a satellite QKD mission. The software-centric layers are the Quantum Network Layer and the Quantum Protocol Layer. The hardware-centric layers are the Quantum Photonic Connection Layer and the Quantum Photonic Component Layer. This video defines what these layers do and their significance to quantum satellites. #QuantumNetworking #SecureNetworks

By interconnecting Quantum Processing Units (QPUs), we can expand computational capacity and take a major step toward fault-tolerant quantum systems. This shift is already happening: QPUs are being integrated into data centers and high-performance computing environments, setting the stage for scalable, energy-efficient quantum computing.

Aliro is on ABQ-Net, New Mexico’s open-access quantum network, demonstrating real-time, entanglement-based secure key generation. By integrating the AlirOS® KeyGen stack with Qunnect’s entanglement distribution systems, this work helps validate how multi-vendor quantum networking technologies can operate together in real-world environments. Interoperability is essential to moving quantum networks from isolated demonstrations toward practical applications in defense, finance, telecommunications, and other security-intensive sectors. #QuantumNetworking #SecureNetworks

Exciting things are happening in New Mexico! “Aliro is demonstrating its AlirOS KeyGen stack using Qunnect’s entanglement distribution systems on the ABQ-Net fiber infrastructure. With this integration, we are demonstrating real-time entanglement-based secure key generation, which further validates our technology for real-world use by customers in defense, finance, and telecom,” said Michael Cubeddu, Co-Founder and CTO of Aliro. This work is an important step toward validating quantum networking technology for practical applications across security-intensive industries. Open-access testbeds like ABQ-Net give innovators a place to integrate technologies, test applications, and develop the operational experience needed to build scalable quantum networks. The future of quantum networking relies on software that can bring diverse quantum hardware and infrastructure together. Aliro is building that future!
