The first commercial quantum key distribution sensor
Revolutionary security in a compact package
As part of our Single Photon Counting Platform, the Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) sensor sets new standards in secure communication technology. Whether for government agencies, financial institutions or industrial applications - our sensor is the key component for your data security and offers exceptional reliability and simple integration options. With duotec components you secure your communication today and in the future.
The QKD sensor marks a milestone in secure communication technology. In a world where quantum computers are increasingly threatening traditional encryption methods, our sensor offers a future-proof solution for protecting sensitive data. While conventional QKD receivers are often large, complicated and slow, our QKD receiver presents itself as the first off-the-shelf QKD receiver - as small as a cent coin and ready for direct integration into customer applications.
The product combines up to four SPADs, cooling, polarization filter and signal processing in a very compact design. Thanks to standardized output signals, the sensor can be easily integrated into your systems. With its innovative design, the sensor is the key element for the reception of individual light quanta and enables the reliable transmission of secure keys based on the physical laws of quantum mechanics. The sensor offers a perfect balance of advanced technology and practicality - ideal for companies looking to future-proof their communications.

Application examples for the Quantum Key Distribution Sensor:
Protection of critical communication systems in the healthcare sector
The QKD sensor secures the transmission of sensitive patient data and vital medical information in hospitals and clinics. It enables tap-proof communication between, for example, individual wards or building areas in clinics and central databases. Thanks to the security of quantum technology, the patient flow remains undisturbed, and the reliability of diagnoses and treatments remains unaffected.
Quantum-based security for modern telecommunications
Our QKD sensor solutions enable secure key distribution over fiber or satellite links using single photons and quantum physics principles. This allows to detect manipulation attempts in real time and guarantee tap-proof communication. Ideal for telecommunications providers who rely on future-proof encryption and the highest level of network security.
Protection of sensitive financial transactions against quantum threats
In high-frequency trading, where milliseconds are crucial, our QKD sensor enables the secure transmission of key data. This protects sensitive financial information from potential cyber-attacks using post-quantum cryptography and ensures fair and secure trading.
