FIU Quantum Distinguished Lecture Series: Talk with Ronald M. Reano, Ph.D.

Quantum information science and engineering involve harnessing superposition and entanglement of quantum mechanical objects. Primary applications span quantum computing, sensing, communications, and metrology. Quantum networking is moving from laboratories to real-world infrastructure, and Ohio is exploring information security across deployed optical fiber networks. This presentation will highlight current quantum networking projects underway, measurements of quantum key distribution (QKD) in deployed fiber environments, potential roles for integrated photonics, and future growth trajectories in the state.
