Terra Quantum today announced a significant new initiative to study the feasibility of developing a quantum-resistant network for the U.S. Department of the Air Force (DAF). Leveraging advanced post-quantum and quantum cryptography will make unauthorized interception of transmitted data physically impossible.

Four researchers from the Institute of Photonics at Leibniz University Hannover have developed a new transmitter-receiver concept for transmitting entangled photons over an optical fiber. This breakthrough could enable the next generation of telecommunications technology, the quantum Internet, to be routed via optical fibers. The quantum Internet promises eavesdropping-proof encryption methods that even future quantum computers cannot decrypt, ensuring the security of critical infrastructure.

Crypto Quantique, a provider of quantum-driven security for the Internet of Things (IoT), has appointed ITEC Limited of Tel-Aviv, Israel to promote and provide customer support for its IoT security products. ITEC will sell the company’s QuarkLink software platform that automates the creation and management of device identities, public key infrastructure (PKI) and digital certificates, and its quantum-derived PUF IP, QDID.

The main goal of ARCTIC (Advanced Research on Cryogenic Technologies for Innovative Computing) is to develop scalable cryogenic ICT microsystems and control technology for quantum processors. The technologies developed will have applications in many fields from sensing to communication, leading to important cross-fertilization that will strengthen the forming European ecosystem on cryogenic classical and quantum microsystems.

SandboxAQ announced today the signing of two agreements with the U.S. Army: one with the Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Center (C5ISR Center) and the second with the Combat Capabilities Development Command’s (DEVCOM) Ground Vehicle Systems Center (GVSC).

The distributors, based in Taiwan, China, Japan and Korea, will support semiconductor makers in implementing on-chip, quantum-driven IoT security and regulatory compliance.

QuSecure, Inc., a leader in post-quantum cryptography (PQC), announced it has joined NVIDIA and a select group of technology leaders in supporting NVIDIA’s cuPQC, a recently launched pioneering library set to redefine cryptography in the quantum era.

Scope AI Corp. announces that it has entered into technology agreement with Ovryde Ltd. whereby Ovryde has agreed to transfer its ownership and rights relating to delivery and application of quantum resilient entropy (the QSE Technology). Quantum resilient entropy is an advanced security measure designed to protect data against the future threats posed by quantum computing, ensuring that sensitive information remains secure in an increasingly digital world.

It is for this reason that the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) established a consortium of organisations as part of its National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) “Migration to Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC)” project. Today, Post-Quantum, the oldest specialist PQC firm in the world, has been selected to be a part of the project, supporting it in developing tangible PQC implementations and use cases.
