Important information such as diplomacy, defense and personal genome must be protected for a long time. When sending such information over a network, it is expected that quantum cryptography will protect the information by information-theoretic security.

Image of society and use cases realized by quantum cryptography
The practical application of quantum cryptography will realize a society that communicates important information safely in medicine, industry, services, administration, diplomacy, security, daily life, etc.
Image of society and use cases realized by quantum networks
In the future beyond the realization of quantum cryptography, it is expected that the practical application of quantum networks will realize convenient lives and advanced economic activities.
