✨We are proud to share the successful PhD presentation of Argyris Ntanos at Photonics Communications Research Laboratory!
His thesis, titled:
“Experimental Implementation and Performance Modelling of QKD in Fiber, Free-Space and Satellite Networks”
focuses on Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and the future of ultra-secure communications in the quantum era.
Argyris’ research spans optical fiber, free-space optical links, and satellite quantum communications, contributing to the development of technologies that could secure tomorrow’s global communication networks against the challenges posed by quantum computing.
His work combines experimental implementations, real-world testing, and advanced system modelling, helping bridge the gap between cutting-edge academic research and practical deployment of quantum communication systems.
We are especially proud that this work is part of PCRL’s pioneering activity in quantum communications research in Greece, an area introduced and actively developed by members of our laboratory over the past years.
Beyond academia, Argyris and his colleagues also co-founded QRBIT, a spin-off company aiming to accelerate the development of optical and quantum technologies and support the next generation of quantum and satellite-based communication systems.
👏 Congratulations to Argyris on this important achievement, and best wishes for continued success in both research and innovation!
