Quantum communication no longer a promise for the future

A new lab not only improves the infrastructure, but also represents trust in the future, confidence in knowledge and commitment to future generations, emphasised the head of the NMHH’s Infocommunications Department and head of department at Széchenyi István University, András Lapsánszky, in his speech at the inauguration ceremony. He recalled that quantum communication is not only a promise for the future, but also one of the key infocommunications technologies of the present, fundamentally reshaping the issues of secure communication and digital data security. He stressed that the authority has always been committed to actively promoting the development of higher education in telecommunications in Hungary and facilitating Hungary’s timely involvement in innovations that would shape future directions in technology. The cooperation between the authority and the university is also an important guarantee for the professional reinvigoration of the NMHH, as several electrical engineers who had graduated in Győr started their careers in infocommunications supervision, András Lapsánszky pointed out.

The purpose of the newly inaugurated laboratory is to provide students and researchers with hands-on experience in quantum communication in a state-of-the-art environment, while also further enhancing the scientific performance and international recognition of the university, Ferenc Friedler said at the ceremony. The Vice President for Science and Rector of Széchenyi István University pointed out that the inauguration of the new quantum lab is not the end, but the continuation of a joint project and cooperation aimed at strengthening the Hungarian innovation ecosystem. As part of the ceremony, the parties performed a symbolic ribbon-cutting to inaugurate the lab, also commemorating the fifty years since the start of the training of telecommunications engineers at the university.
