The Universities of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unige.ch\/en\/university\/presentation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Geneva<\/a> (three projects) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unine.ch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Neuch\u00e2tel<\/a> with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.csem.ch\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CSEM<\/a> (one project) are among the winners.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Quantum cryptography<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>One of the selected projects from the University of Geneva is the \u201cQuantum Random Number Generation\u201d project. It focuses on the use of random quantum numbers for Internet applications, cryptography and the calculation of high performances. The idea is to maximize the security of online transactions.<\/p>\n<p>The Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology (CSEM) is also coordinating one of the selected projects, which brings together 14 industrial and academic partners, including the Universities of Basel and Neuch\u00e2tel. Named \u201cmacQsimal\u201d, this project aims to develop a new generation of sensors, which would considerably increase the performances of electronic devices for the general public, medical devices and connected objects.<\/p>\n<p>The first quantum revolution resulted in the discovery of critical technologies like transistors and lasers. Without these, computers, mobile phones and the internet would have been unthinkable. Today, thanks to the possibility of manipulating fundamental quantum properties in systems and materials, significant discoveries can be made in the fields of health, security, transportation, energy or environmental sciences, among others.
