The Technische Universität Berlin carries out basic and application-oriented research at a top international level. It strives to further develop science and technology for the benefit of society, by establishing fields of future scientific focus and promoting cross-faculty research activities and networks with external actors.

The ‘Quantum Communication and Cryptography’ research group aims to build the essential components for future quantum networks and large-scale quantum cloud computing. Solutions are specifically explored that will allow users to securely store and process their data on a network, and consequently provide a more effective way for computing and communication. The group is participating in many collaborative projects with other universities and research organisations, as well as outreach activities (link of group webpage).
