The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) is the UK’s technical authority for cyber security. This year, their NCSC annual review details numerous examples of how their work has helped keep the United Kingdom safe from the complex technological threat landscape, including advanced ransomware, the looming potential of AI, and the quickening challenge of preparing for the age of quantum computing.

SandboxAQ today announced a series of scientific and technical milestones on Cybersecurity, collectively marking a set of significant advances in the company’s core research and product development activities.

SEALSQ Corp ("SEALSQ" or "Company"), a company that focuses on developing and selling Semiconductors, PKI and Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, today announced a strategic partnership with Hedera to deliver next-generation quantum-resistant semiconductors, integrating cutting-edge security solutions to protect critical infrastructures in the emerging post-quantum world. SEALSQ has commenced the quality and functional testing phase for the initial batch of its revolutionary quantum-resistant hardware platform, the QS7001, and remains on track to begin production and delivery as scheduled in 2025.

Krown Technologies Ltd. (Krown Network), a leading innovator in Blockchain, FinTech, and Artificial Intelligence infrastructure, and Quantum eMotion Corp. (QeM) a leader in classical and quantum cybersecurity solutions, are pleased to announce a strategic alliance. This partnership, formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), represents a significant milestone in advancing security, functionality, and efficiency within the blockchain ecosystem.

Nokia today announced that Nokia and SK Broadband have deployed a leased line network for Korea Hydro and Nuclear Plant (KHNP) to enhance data security. Completed in August 2024, this deployment enables KHNP to protect its network against existing and emerging cyber threats, including quantum computing-based cyberattacks.

Researchers at the UChicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (UChicago PME) have realized a new design for a superconducting quantum processor, aiming at a potential architecture for the large-scale, durable devices the quantum revolution demands.

In 2014, a research team from Singapore demonstrated mathematically a direct connection between the complementarity principle and the degree of unknown information in a quantum system, the so-called entropic uncertainty. This connection means that no matter what combination of wave or particle characteristic of a quantum system is looked at, the amount of unknown information is a least one bit of information, i.e. the unmeasurable wave or particle. Researchers from Linköping University together with colleagues from Poland and Chile have now succeeded in confirming the Singapore researchers’ theory in reality with the help of a new type of experiment.

Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) and the engineering company Arquimea have received one of the 17 grants awarded by the Spanish government under the "Cátedras Chip" (Chip Chairs) programme to advance the application of photonics and integrated electronics in quantum technology research, promoting their adoption by industry. These fields are essential for ensuring the security and technological development of future industries.

To maintain and expand the United States’ leadership in the global race for quantum technology, U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), Chair of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, Sen. Todd Young (R-Ind.), member of the Committee, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.) introduced the National Quantum Initiative Reauthorization Act, which would authorize $2.7 billion in federal funding to accelerate quantum research and development at federal science agencies for the next five years.

Arqit Quantum Inc. (“Arqit” or the “Company”), a leader in quantum safe encryption, today announced its operational and financial results for the fiscal year ended 30 September 2024.
