CORVUS LABS
In partnership with a national defense research agency, Corvus Labs developed a prototype quantum key distribution system for secure military communications. Unlike lab demonstrations, our system was designed for field deployment—operating in variable weather, vibration, and temperature conditions. After 18 months of development, we achieved the first successful 100km quantum-secured transmission in non-laboratory conditions, a significant milestone toward practical quantum-safe military communications.
