Security with Quantum Precision
QSA Technology develops photonic chips that provide strong, hardware-based authentication for secure communication networks. Each chip contains a unique physical structure, impossible to clone or reproduce. When a light signal passes through, it creates a distinct optical pattern—a ‘fingerprint’—that can be used to verify identity with high confidence. This technology does not rely on passwords or stored keys, making it resilient to both classical and quantum-based attacks. Our solutions are designed for industries that need reliable authentication at scale, such as telecommunications, free-space optics, and critical infrastructure.

Our Mission
To provide next-generation authentication technology that enables trusted identity verification in quantum-vulnerable environments.
Our Vision
We envision a future where photonic authentication becomes a fundamental layer in digital security—ensuring that communication, infrastructure, and connected devices are protected against increasingly advanced threats.
As global communication networks prepare for quantum resilience, QSA offers a critical hardware-based solution for verifying devices and endpoints in optical networks. Our technology integrates seamlessly into existing telecom infrastructure and enhances identity control within QKD-enabled systems.

Our Ecosystem & Core Partners
QSA Technology is a spin-out from the University of Twente’s QUANT Center, one of the Netherlands’ leading quantum optics research hubs. The original photonic fingerprint chip was developed in the research group of Professor Pepijn Pinkse, who now serves as our Chief Scientific Officer. The university remains an essential partner for ongoing validation, scientific development, and talent access.
