FAQ

Experts agree that the development of quantum computers poses a real threat to current asymmetric encryption algorithms. The exact timeline is uncertain, but the risk is already influencing strategic security decisions today.  

Eavesdropping introduces disturbances in the transmitted quantum states. The QKD system continuously monitors the transmission’s error rate.  

If the error rate exceeds the acceptable threshold:  

• the transmission is considered compromised  

• the key is discarded  

• users are notified of the intrusion attempt  

QKD is being deployed in pilot and operational environments by:  

• government institutions,  

• telecommunications operators,  

• financial institutions,  

• research organizations.  

Detailed case studies are available upon request.  

Absolutely. WR was designed for such applications from the start. It provides sub-nanosecond precision (sub-ns), while 5G networks require synchronization within ±130 ns, giving WR a significant precision margin. WR uses IEEE 1588 (PTPv2) and Ethernet, the foundation of telecom synchronization. WR can also support thousands of nodes, allowing integration into large telecom infrastructures. Grandmaster selection and delay compensation mechanisms ensure synchronization even in case of partial network failures. WR not only meets current 5G standards but is also ready for future network generations, where precision and deterministic data transfer will be even more critical.

White Rabbit performs excellently in these scenarios. Using IEEE 1588 (PTPv2) and Ethernet as a foundation, WR enables precise time-stamping with sub-nanosecond accuracy, which is critical for high-frequency financial operations, where every microsecond can determine the success or failure of a transaction, and inaccurate time synchronization can lead to errors, financial losses, and chaos. Accurate synchronization prevents errors, financial losses, and operational chaos, allowing deterministic, reliable transactions and minimizing risks associated with delays or ambiguous timestamps.  

White Rabbit does not require special fibers; standard single-mode fiber (SMF) can be used depending on distance and bandwidth requirements. For example, single-mode fiber works well over long distances (kilometers), maintaining White Rabbit’s sub-nanosecond precision even over 10–100 km.  

Yes. The modules are designed for fast and straightforward integration with standard lab setups and existing infrastructure.  

A prime example is NASA’s Space Network Ground Segment Sustainment (SGSS), responsible for maintaining and developing ground infrastructure supporting communication with satellites and spacecraft. Other notable MTCA users include CERN, LNLS, DESY, and GSI.  

Our projects include:  

• Power control system for the MAST tokamak in the UK – The Mega Ampere Spherical Tokamak (MAST) is a British fusion experiment studying spherical tokamak design at the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy (CCFE) in Oxford.  

• AFC MTCA were cards developed in collaboration with LNLS (Laboratório Nacional de Luz Síncrotron) in Brazil  

• Modules for a multi-channel noise radar developed with Warsaw University of Technology  

• Proton beam trajectory measurement systems for the Cryring and Sirius accelerators, designed jointly with LNLS (40 ADC channels, 250 MHz, 16-bit + DSP)  

• Signal recorder for communication systems  

• High-speed X-ray camera equipped with a gas detector  

The camera is operated via an intuitive web-based user interface accessible through a standard web browser, allowing configuration and monitoring from any computer within the network.  

In addition, the camera supports a REST API, enabling task automation, integration with existing control systems, and remote operation via external software.  

Yes. Integration is achieved via a dedicated mechanical adapter tailored to the specific optical and mechanical configuration.  

The process includes:  

1. The customer provides system parameters (e.g., mounting hole spacing and back focus).  

2. A compatible adapter is designed.  

3. The adapter is manufactured.  

4. The camera is delivered with the adapter installed and ready for use.  

Yes. Cameras connect via standard Ethernet networks, enabling straightforward multi-camera system deployment.  

Synchronization can be achieved via:  

• External trigger  

• GNSS  

• NTP  

• PTP
