The Portuguese Quantum Communication Infrastructure (PTQCI) project is the first terrestrial segment of the European Quantum Communication Infrastructure (EuroQCI) in Portugal. It represents the first step towards the integration of the European infrastructure. Indeed, PTQCI is part of a roadmap for deploying secure communication infrastructures and technology provision and shall allow the deployment of highly secure, scalable, and resilient networks based on Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) between different public authorities in Lisbon.
