With a rise in advanced cyber threats and the impending era of quantum computing, there is a critical need for enterprise-scale encryption and a proactive transition to quantum-resilient technologies. QuintessenceLabs, renowned for its quantum-safe encryption, today announced it has deployed its Trusted Security Foundation (TSF) key and policy manager appliance in Equinix’s International Business Exchange (IBX) data center in Canberra to help organisations strengthen their defences against the cryptographic threats posed by quantum computing.

Toshiba is at the forefront of establishing a quantum-safe future for Singapore, leveraging its extensive expertise in QKD technology. With over three decades of research in quantum technology, Toshiba has shifted from academia to commercializing QKD systems. The recent opening of a £20 million Quantum Technology Centre in Cambridge, UK, underscores Toshiba’s commitment to developing quantum-secure networking solutions. This initiative addresses the vulnerabilities of traditional encryption methods, ensuring robust data security through advanced QKD technology that utilizes quantum physics principles to create resilient encryption against potential decryption attempts.

An international research team led by QuTech has demonstrated a network connection between quantum processors over metropolitan distances. Their result marks a key advance from early research networks in the lab towards a future quantum internet. The team developed fully independently operating nodes and integrated these with deployed optical internet fibre, enabling a 25 km quantum link. The researchers published their findings in Science Advances.

QANplatform - the quantum-resistant blockchain platform - is proud to announce its membership in the Linux Foundation and its participation in the Linux Foundation's Post-Quantum Cryptography Alliance (PQCA) project, a group of technology leaders collaborating to safeguard digital infrastructures against quantum-era threats.

EALSQ Corp, a company that focuses on developing and selling Semiconductors, PKI and Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, today announces its intention to complete traditional existing Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) technology with advanced Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) and post-quantum semiconductors.

BT Group, Equinix and Toshiba today announced they will provide quantum secure connectivity at two prime colocation Equinix data centres located in London’s Canary Wharf and Slough. Customers using the Equinix data centres (which can provide equipment, space and bandwidth to multiple organisations securely co-located in the same data centre) will be able to connect to BT Group and Toshiba’s quantum-secured metro network and trial the transmission of data, protected using Quantum Key Distribution (QKD).

Juniper Networks, a leader in secure, AI-Native Networking, today announced a strategic investment in Quantum Bridge Technologies , an industry leader in Distributed Symmetric Key Exchange (DSKE) for post-quantum cryptography (PQC) networks.

Infleqtion is delighted to announce the first UK commercial delivery of its groundbreaking optical atomic clock, Tiqker™, to the University of Strathclyde. This marks a historic milestone as the first sale and commercial delivery of any optical atomic clock within the UK.
