Raicol Crystals, Qubitekk Awarded Grant from BIRD Foundation

Raicol Crystals, manufacturer of nonlinear crystals for space, aviation, and pharmaceutical applications, and Qubitekk, a manufacturer of products for quantum networks and quantum key distribution, have been awarded a grant for a joint project. The companies will partner on a project focused on quantum communications. As part of the joint project, the companies will develop an intangible, minimized photonic source that will serve as an endpoint for sending encrypted messages.
