Singapore-based SpeQtral and Qosmosys have signed a memorandum of understanding to develop a Moon-based Entanglement Distribution System (MEDS) for ultra long-distance quantum communications. The partnership aims to leverage Qosmosys’ ZeusX and SpeQtral’s expertise to enhance cybersecurity applications.
The MEDS could facilitate quantum communications from the Moon and quantum-enhanced long baseline interferometry for astronomy and deep space observations. SpeQtral’s CEO, Lum Chune Yang, and Qosmosys’ CEO, François Dubrulle, highlighted the potential of this collaboration to redefine space exploration and cybersecurity boundaries.
Quantum Communications: A New Frontier in Space Exploration
Singapore-based quantum communications company, SpeQtral, and space exploration firm, Qosmosys, have recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to collaborate on a groundbreaking project. The two companies aim to develop a Moon-based Entanglement Distribution System (MEDS) for ultra long-distance quantum communications. This ambitious project will leverage Qosmosys’ ZeusX spacecraft and SpeQtral’s expertise in quantum communications to explore the Moon’s potential for cybersecurity applications and beyond.
The MEDS project promises to facilitate a variety of applications, including quantum communications from the Moon and quantum-enhanced long baseline interferometry for astronomy and deep space observations. Quantum-enhanced long baseline interferometry could significantly increase the resolution and sensitivity for observing distant celestial objects, thereby advancing our understanding of deep space phenomena.
The Partnership: A Convergence of Space Exploration and Quantum Technology
The partnership between SpeQtral and Qosmosys involves key initiatives such as conducting design feasibility studies, setting up the industry consortium and business structure to execute the programme, and pursuing joint business development opportunities for MEDS operations. Lum Chune Yang, CEO and Co-founder of SpeQtral, highlighted the transformative nature of the partnership, stating that it marks a significant and challenging milestone in merging space exploration and quantum technology.
François Dubrulle, CEO of Qosmosys, echoed Yang’s sentiments, emphasizing the potential of the Moon for pioneering technologies and its compatibility with real economic value for cybersecurity on Earth. He expressed confidence in the partnership with SpeQtral, citing the quality of collaboration between the two companies and the potential for bolstering Singapore’s reputation as a hub for technological excellence and growth in the space industry.
The Future of Quantum Communications and Space Exploration
With increasing global interest and investment in space exploration and quantum technologies, Qosmosys and SpeQtral are well-positioned to capitalize on the unique opportunities arising from the convergence of these domains. This partnership lays a solid foundation for future advancements and commercialisation in both fields.
SpeQtral is a company focused on quantum communications, with a vision to build and deploy global quantum networks. The company develops quantum-secure products and services designed to protect sovereign and enterprise telecommunication networks against classical, as well as future quantum-based cyber-attacks on cryptography. By combining terrestrial and space-based solutions, SpeQtral aims to secure the world’s networks against the threats posed by the imminent quantum revolution and drive innovation in quantum communications.
Qosmosys, on the other hand, is a Singapore-based company with branches in France and the United States. The company is currently developing its flagship spacecraft, ZeusX. Qosmosys aims to provide on-demand services to public or private organizations looking to operate on the Moon and beyond. The company’s services span three sectors: transportation, robotics & resources, and science & tech. Qosmosys aims to make lunar access more accessible, providing both public and private sectors with a dependable and flexible approach to foster a moon-based economy.
