Geneva Quantum Network

On Swiss Quantum Industry Day 2025, a consortium of academic, industrial and public actors launched Geneva’s first quantum network, to advance secure communication and precision technologies.

The Geneva Quantum Network (GNQ) focuses on several areas:

Exploring the capabilities and benefits of quantum communication and sensing through their deployment in real-world fibre optic network environments

Preparing the next generation of engineers and professionals for emerging opportunities in quantum networks and high-tech sectors

Establishing a focal point in Geneva for quantum networking activities, thereby highlighting the city’s quantum ecosystem and strengthening its international visibility

Promoting dialogue and awareness at multiple levels, so that society is informed about important developments in quantum science and equipped to make science-based decisions.

Representatives from partner organisations (HEPIA, CERN, ID Quantique, ROLEX, Canton of Geneva) launched the Geneva Quantum Network at Quantum Industry Day. In the centre, Councillor Delphine Bachman (third from right) and UNIGE researcher Rob Thew (fourth from left).
