Hybrid Quantum Network Secures AI Infrastructure
Hyderabad: QNu Labs showcased a live demonstration of its Hybrid Quantum Network designed to secure AI ecosystems at the India AI Impact Summit 2026, held from February 17 to 20. The company shared exhibition space with the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology and aligned its presentation with the Summit’s focus on responsible and scalable AI adoption under the IndiaAI Mission.
As artificial intelligence becomes integral to governance, finance, healthcare, defence, and critical infrastructure, cybersecurity risks continue to grow. Therefore, QNu Labs demonstrated how sovereign hybrid quantum security can form the foundational layer for protecting AI systems, data centres, and mission-critical digital infrastructure. The company emphasized readiness against future quantum-enabled cyber threats.
Hybrid Quantum Network Demonstrates Real-Time AI Protection
At the event, QNu Labs presented real-time key generation, secure key distribution, advanced key provisioning, and key management capabilities. By leveraging quantum-derived keys instead of relying solely on mathematical encryption complexity, the Hybrid Quantum Network strengthens protection across AI workloads, model exchanges, and sensitive data flows. As a result, long-term resilience against emerging quantum threats is reinforced.
The demonstration featured an indigenous hybrid quantum communication architecture integrating advanced Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) solutions across three nodes. Notably, one node displayed a free space QKD solution. This scalable model addresses distance and deployment constraints typically associated with single-medium systems. Moreover, it paves the way for satellite-ready quantum-secured communication across geographically distributed environments.
QNu Labs also showcased its Quantum Safe Key Distribution Network (QKDN), already deployed across defence bodies, critical infrastructure networks, and enterprises. Additionally, the company demonstrated homomorphic encryption capabilities, enabling computation on encrypted data without exposing underlying datasets — a critical enabler for privacy-preserving AI ecosystems.
Interactive segments illustrated real-time protection of enterprise voice, video, messaging, and secure data transmission. According to Mr. Sunil Gupta, Co-founder and CEO, AI infrastructure must remain resilient against next-generation cyber threats, including quantum attacks. CTO Mr. Dilip Singh further highlighted interoperability with enterprise networks and AI workloads.
Through this showcase, QNu Labs reinforced its operational maturity and its contribution to India’s quantum technology ecosystem.
