The scientific and educational complex of quantum key distribution (NOC AAC) is used for conducting educational and research work in the field of quantum communications on the basis of higher educational institutions, colleges, industrial RnD centers and branch scientific and production associations.

2021: Description of the NOC platform of the AAC. Structure

The platform is suitable not only for solving scientific and educational problems, but also for organizing individual segments of networks that are integrated into the existing infrastructure.

According to information for June 2021, in addition to equipment, the complex includes specially designed laboratory work and consulting support that help integrate a course on quantum communications into the program of an educational institution.

Universities and colleges of Russia purchase scientific and educational complexes for the training of specialists in new professions that are requested by the quantum technology market.

A distinctive feature of this complex is the flexibility of the configuration. The modular hardware and software complex allows you to modify optical circuits, vary electronic components, explore promising protocols, as well as develop interfaces for integrating quantum communications into other information systems. The equipment helps to study in detail the method of quantum key allocation, which allows two parties connected on an open communication channel to create a common random key, known only to them, and use it to encrypt and decrypt messages.
