Demonstrating Our Integrated Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) Setup

As part of the ALLEGRO Horizon Europe project, we are proud to showcase the performance of our silicon nitride photonic integrated receiver by implementing the three-state time-bin BB84 protocol [Boa18]. 📡 What we’ve built:Our experimental setup integrates a full QKD...

Allegro Project Update: Backbone Traffic Optimization

In our latest simulation, we explored how traffic is routed from Aggregation Nodes to National Nodes in the backbone network. 📡 A key highlight: we analyzed transceiver cost variations as a function of the OSNR budget available at the output of the horseshoes. This...

Allegro Project Update: Simulation Insights with Flexible Transponders

Our latest simulation results offer compelling evidence on the benefits of deploying flexible transponders in metro/regional networks. 🔧 Simulation Assumptions: OSNR degradation of 3 dB per 80 km in regional domains Adaptive modulation — lowered when OSNR drops below...
