SciLux podcast – Peter Ryan and Peter Roenne on Quantum and Post-Quantum Cryptography

15 April 2025

The Future of Quantum Computing

From pioneering quantum communication infrastructure to hosting global events like Scynergy 2025, Luxembourg is establishing itself as a key player in the world of quantum research. In this episode, two of our leading quantum experts, Peter Ryan and Peter Roenne, delve into the transformative power of quantum technologies – especially their potential in the field of cryptography.

In this episode of SciLux, Dr Peter Ryan, professor in Computer science and communication – Applied Security at the Faculty of Science, Technology and Medicine (FSTM) of the University of Luxembourg, and Dr Peter Roenne, research scientist at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT) of the University of Luxembourg, explore the world of quantum mechanics. The two researchers discuss the complexities of quantum theory but also its practical applications, particularly in cryptography.

Listen to Prof. Peter Ryan and Dr Peter Roenne to explore the implications of quantum computing, the challenges of post-quantum cryptography, and the future of secure communication.

Quantum Research in Luxembourg

As we celebrate the United Nations’ Year of Quantum in 2025, Luxembourg stands at the forefront of this revolutionary field. The research institutions based in Luxembourg develop quantum technology by studying how atoms work, creating systems that dramatically improve computing, communications, and measurement. These advances are transforming society through breakthroughs in medicine, enhanced cybersecurity, and solutions to complex environmental challenges. Our scientists and engineers turn quantum principles into practical applications that improve daily life.

As the United Nations marks 2025 as the Year of Quantum, Luxembourg is proud to be a leader in this cutting-edge field. Our research institutions are exploring the behaviour of atoms to develop powerful quantum technologies that revolutionise computing, communication, and precision measurement. These innovations are paving the way for major breakthroughs – from improved medical treatments and stronger cybersecurity to tackling complex environmental issues. By turning quantum science into real-world solutions, Luxembourg’s scientists and engineers are shaping a better future for all.
