In the past two years, the term "quantum communication" has been everywhere, but if you look closely, you'll notice—a new consensus is already forming within the industry.

Satellite-level secure communication is no longer some “black technology” concept. It’s becoming a standard component of digital infrastructure. Just like how cloud storage once seemed cutting-edge—now, who’s still surprised by it?

Interestingly, some teams are now taking the approach of “starting with satellite QKD, then gradually transitioning to entanglement networks.” This strategy actually hits the mark. Look at the EuroQCI project in Europe—it’s going full steam ahead, and countries are laying out their own quantum key distribution networks.

When it comes to technical roadmaps, sometimes it’s not about who’s the most aggressive, but about who can maintain the right pace and seize the timing window.
