Episode Description from the Publisher

Quantum Corridor and Toshiba announced the demonstration of the first cross-state Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) over a live commercial metro fiber network, and I had questions about it. What’s the significance of crossing a state line? What was the real-world use case? What do they mean by “no quantum specialists required”? Why are they targeting QKD in the United States? So, we agreed to hop on a podcast together and get some answers. “Quantum Corridor, Toshiba demonstrate first cross-state Quantum Key Distribution over live commercial metro fiber network” Ryan Lafler (LinkedIn), President & CTO of Quantum Corridor Terry Cronin (LinkedIn), VP of Business Development and QKD Evangelist at Toshiba International Corporation Quantum Corridor (website) Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc. (website) Quantum Corridor (LinkedIn) Toshiba (LinkedIn) Dragon Castle by Makai Symphony | https://soundcloud.com/makai-symphony Music promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/ Creative Commons CC BY-SA 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ Dungeons And Dragons by Alexander Nakarada | https://creatorchords.com Music promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/ Creative Commons CC BY 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Filed under: Quantum Communications • Network Security • Commercial Quantum Technology
