Today and yesterday representatives of #BMBF and @VDIVDE_IT
are visiting Fraunhofer IOF. The reason for the meeting with the involved research partners of the #QuNET initiative, is the Key Experiment 1 (Schlüsselexperiment 1; SE1) & research on secure #quantumcommunication.

#HannoverMesse starts today and #Fraunhofer IOF will participate with a keynote about entangled photons for space applications in Hall 2, Booth A60 or via livestream as well as being part of the #QuNET project at Hall 2, A22 with the @bmbf_bund More info about the keynote: https://s.fhg.de/iofhm23
