Research and Education Networks carry more than just IP traffic. Quantum
networks and security are redefining the future of communications,
enabling secure transmissions through quantum key distribution and the
transmission of quantum information across distances. Time and frequency
networks deliver precise synchronization and accurate timing across
distributed systems, supporting critical applications in
telecommunications, geo-positioning, power grid management, and
scientific research. The former NTP protocol, that was previously enough
for time synchronisation, does not deliver enough accuracy for these
demanding applications. So, National Metrology Institutes are currently
offering ultra-precise Time and Frequency through optical networks. This
session will showcase the latests developments in quantum networking
and optical time and frequency distribution.
Why are we still talking about time and frequency?
