Quantum Hackathon
Are you a developer, researcher or an enthusiast with an interest in cybersecurity and quantum technology? Join the QCIned Hackathon and build your own quantum-safe application on SURF’s Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) testbed.
- SURF Amsterdam, Science Park, VK1&2
During this exciting challenge, you will build quantum-safe applications or systems leveraging quantum-safe cryptography using SURF’s quantum key distribution (QKD) testbed and the ETSI 014 interface. Share your expertise about quantum-safe communication, improve your knowledge about quantum key distribution and bring real-world use cases to life.
Who should participate?
Anyone with an interest in quantum-safe communication and good coding skills.

Format
- As a participant you can work individually or in small teams (2-5 people).
- Challenge: implement a quantum-safe application or system, using QKD infrastructure and ETSI 014, to protect data or communication from quantum threats.
- Projects must be based on QKD and ETSI 014 interface.
- As a participants you can run your code on SURF’s QKD testbed between Amsterdam and Utrecht.
- Everybody presents or demonstrates the implemented solutions (5-10 minutes).
