Merqury works with the quantum technologies research group at the University of Malta. It builds on expertise grown over the course of the preceding decade, including through participation in large-scale research initiatives funded by the European Commission, NATO, and local funding mechanisms.
Milestones achieved by this research group include the establishment of a quantum link between Malta and Sicily over the telecommunications network, subsequently extended to a round-trip from Malta to Sicily and back. We truly are at the forefront of the quantum revolution.
