On February 27, Caucasus University officially inaugurated its new Quantum Laboratory, marking a significant milestone in the advancement of quantum technologies and cryptographic security research in Georgia.

The opening ceremony featured speeches by the President of Caucasus University, Kakha Shengelia; the Dean of the School of Technology, Shota Nizharadze; the Head of Caucasus Cybersecurity Center, Maksim Iavich; and Professor Giorgi Akhalaia.

Equipped with cutting-edge technologies, the laboratory establishes a strong foundation for both academic research and practical innovation in quantum technology and cybersecurity.

Research Infrastructure

The laboratory’s research base includes:

• USB Quantum Random Number Generators (QRNG) and portable quantum devices designed for scientific and industrial applications;
• QRNG PCIe cards;
• Specialized servers and testing equipment for side-channel attack analysis;
• ChipWhisperer platforms for research in embedded systems security and post-quantum cryptography.

The establishment of the laboratory was made possible through the financial support and collaboration of Erasmus+ SECURE and the NATO Science for Peace and Security Program (SPS).
