Infleqtion to Lead Quantum Thrust in Defence Cyber Marvel 3 Event

Industry / Press Release February 14, 2024

February 13, 2024 -- Infleqtion is proud to announce its participation as the lead quantum innovator in Defence Cyber Marvel 3 (DCM3), Europe’s premier cyber defense exercise organised by the Army Cyber Association. DCM3 brings together teams from Defence, Government agencies, industry partners, and international allies to tackle cyber threats in a simulated environment.

Taking place from February 11 to February 16, DCM3 aims to spotlight and advance understanding of cutting-edge technologies crucial to network security, with a particular emphasis on quantum technology. Infleqtion will provide participants with access to Oxford Quantum Circuits’ 32-qubit OQC Toshiko superconducting quantum computer through Superstaq, Infleqtion’s flagship quantum software platform, replicating real-world scenarios where secure and efficient data management is paramount.

Participants will explore the potential of quantum computing in network security by identifying maximally distinguishable quantum circuits. These circuits simulate files in a distributed database, showcasing the efficiency and security enhancements quantum computing can offer.

Dr. Tim Ballance, Infleqtion UK president, said, "We are honoured to lead the quantum thrust in DCM3. This event presents a unique opportunity to demonstrate the transformative potential of quantum technology in bolstering cyber defenses. Our challenge will test participants' skills and showcase the real-world applications of quantum computing in securing critical networks."  

Infleqtion's participation in DCM3 builds on the company's recent achievements, including its selection to develop and deliver a quantum computing testbed for the National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) in the United Kingdom, Japan's Quantum Moonshot program, the launch of Oqtant, the world's first quantum matter service, and the strategic acquisitions of SiNoptiq Inc. and Morton Photonics Inc.
