This successful trial validates a hybrid architecture combining NIST-approved post-quantum cryptography with Toshiba's quantum key distribution to secure 1.6 Tb/s of live traffic on commercial optical networks. The demonstration proves that high-speed, production-ready quantum-safe encryption is achievable today without waiting for full-scale fault-tolerant quantum computers to emerge. For network operators and infrastructure providers, this marks a critical milestone in transitioning from theoretical readiness to practical deployment against future decryption threats.

Quantum Corridor, Ciena and Toshiba Test 1.6 Tb/s Quantum-Safe Network Encryption

The Quantum InsiderAugust 4, 20263 min read

Insider Brief Press release – Quantum Corridor, Ciena (NYSE: CIEN) and Toshiba have completed a successful trial of high-speed quantum-safe networking on Quantum Corridor’s live commercial network in the Midwest United States. The trial demonstrates how organizations can immediately protect critical in-flight data with Ciena’s WaveLogic 6 Extreme (WL6e) 1.6 Tb/s quantum-safe encryption capabilities, which support a hybrid security approach using […]

Quantum Corridor, Ciena, and Toshiba completed a trial of 1.6 Tb/s quantum-safe networking on a live commercial network using PQC and QKD technologies. The trial validated Ciena’s WaveLogic 6 Extreme optical encryption with Toshiba’s QKD technology across a production network connecting data centers in Chicago and Hammond, Indiana. The companies demonstrated a hybrid approach to quantum-safe networking that combines NIST-approved…
