Carrousel Digital Limited provides physical and cryptographic IP solutions for data transmission and security. Their solutions can help: send classic data securely using entangled photons, create optical fibre networks for photon transmission thanks to passive photonic routers, use Quantum safe One time key encrypted e-signatures, secure e-cash and e-identity within a pool of compatible RFID cards and readers counting 100million+ users, secure QKD against man in the middle attack thanks to our quantum safe One Time Key signature, geo-localize payments thanks to indoor GPS using radio waves penetrating households emitted by fix or mobile antennas, secure keys placed in memory against undesired firmware updates, and replenish reservoir of onetime keys used for by a device to communicate with the other devices of a pool by simple internet connection. Carrousel Digital provides a scheme on a long distance EPR channels synchronizing the delivery of 780nm entangled photons over long distances such as 200km.
 

Senko Advanced Components is a wholly owned subsidiary of Senko Advance Co., Ltd. which is headquartered in Yokkaichi, Japan. Senko Advanced Components was incorporated in the United States in the early 90’s and has since being recognized as one of the industry’s specialists in Fiber Optic “Interconnect Solutions.” Senko Advanced Components has in-house capabilities to design and manufacture advanced, high precision, and application-focused fibre optic interconnectors that enabled every level of optical communications from the first nanometre to the last mile. Currently Senko is participating in multiple Horizon Europe and UK Research Innovation projects on advanced optical networking and also quantum communication and computing.
 

Vanguard Automation (VA), headquartered in Karlsruhe, Germany, develops technology and products including machines, software, materials and processes for creating low-loss photonic interconnects between passive and active optical components. These so-called photonic interconnects are fabricated leveraging VA’s globally unique IP portfolio for Photonic Wire Bonding and Facet-Attached Micro-Lenses. Building on nano-print technology, VA’s solutions enable high packaging density, increased design flexibility and fabrication throughput. In April 2024 VA joined the Swedish high-tech group Mycronic AB, a publicly traded global leader in electronics manufacturing solutions.
