IBM is taking a global leadership role in quantum-safe consortia. Here’s how that will help you build a sustainable quantum-safe future.

Nokia and Honeywell Aerospace Technologies today announced a strategic partnership with Numana to advance Quantum-Safe Networks (QSN) in Montreal, Canada, and worldwide. This collaboration will drive innovation, foster collaboration, and accelerate the adoption of next-generation secure networking technologies for enterprises and service providers. Additionally, this partnership will help raise awareness about the importance and benefits of these technologies, advancing secure and reliable networking solutions for a resilient digital future.

Quantum technology is evolving rapidly and is set to have a major impact on a wide range of industries. As advancements accelerate, businesses and policymakers must prepare for the implications on their sectors. However, many organizations are still in the early stages of understanding how quantum technology could affect their operations. To bridge this gap, the European Quantum Industry Consortium (QuIC) and Dutch National Quantum Program Quantum Delta NL are hosting Q-Expo on May 14-15, 2025, in Amsterdam. This large-scale, free event connects potential end-users of quantum technology with experts and pioneers in the field, offering a unique opportunity to gain knowledge and strengthen collaboration within the quantum ecosystem.

Synergy Quantum, a global leader in military-grade quantum-resistant cybersecurity technologies, has unveiled the SynQ Communication Box—a highly secure, portable, and all-in-one communication platform designed to protect military, government, financial, and enterprise communications against both current and future cyber threats.

Quantum EncrYption and Science Satellite (QEYSSat), a satellite demonstrating secure ground-to-space quantum communication, will soon orbit the earth. And the researchers at the University of Waterloo’s Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) that are making that happen, along with collaborators at the University of Calgary and the Institut national d'optique (INO), have published a white paper outlining a future mission opportunity to establish a step towards a Canada wide quantum internet.

In a rapidly evolving cyber threat landscape, ensuring secure communication is more critical than ever. Synergy Quantum, a pioneer in integrating Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) with Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), is at the forefront of advancing the future of cybersecurity. With its groundbreaking Satellite-Based Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) technology, Synergy Quantum is setting new standards for ultra-secure encryption across the globe, combining quantum technologies to safeguard sensitive data against emerging threats.

A Canadian photon detector module that was designed, assembled, and programmed at the University of Waterloo recently launched to the ISS on NASA's SpaceX CRS-31 commercial resupply mission.

TU Wien, the University of Innsbruck and the company qtlabs are working together on a major FFG-funded project to make quantum cryptography secure and suitable for practical use.

QuSecure, Inc., a leader in post-quantum cryptography (PQC) and next-generation cryptographic agility, today announced the closing of additional funding, bringing its Series A round to $28M to advance its delivery of cutting-edge, crypto-agile, quantum-resistant cybersecurity enterprise software solutions. Two Bear Capital led the round with participation from Accenture Ventures. The investment will support product development, accelerate go-to-market initiatives, and expand QuSecure’s customer base across government, financial, and critical infrastructure sectors.

SEALSQ Corp ("SEALSQ" or "Company"), a company specializing in Semiconductors, PKI, and Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, today announced that it has allocated up to $20 million of its available cash to invest in pioneering startups specializing in quantum computing, Quantum-as-a-Service (QaaS), and AI-driven semiconductor technologies. This strategic initiative is a critical component of the SEALSQ Quantum Roadmap, designed to deliver the technology, services, and strategic frameworks necessary for an end-to-end quantum-safe transformation while ensuring cryptographic agility in an evolving digital landscape.
