SpeQtral, a leading quantum communications technology company, and Toshiba Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd. (TAPL), a subsidiary of Toshiba Corporation, are set to present their latest quantum key distribution (QKD) products and services at the highly anticipated Asia Tech Singapore (ATxSG) 2024 event.

To respond to the strong demand for the development and operation of quantum networks in Europe, ID Quantique (IDQ) has completed the acquisition of Nutshell Quantum-Safe located in Austria. The entity will continue to serve as ID Quantique’s service center and customer support partner for the European Union market.

evolutionQ, a leading quantum-safe cybersecurity company, today unveiled MultimodalKES™, a new cryptographic protocol that enables the establishment of end-to-end (E2E) encryption keys for long-term secure, quantum-safe communications. In support of the new protocol, evolutionQ issued a corresponding white paper at the 10th annual ETSI/IQC Quantum Safe Cryptography Conference in Singapore.

To accommodate the growing demand for telecom-grade solutions that enable fast and cost-effective migration to quantum-safe communications, ID Quantique’s new Clarion KX software platform now supports multi-vendor Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) interoperability. Today, we are pleased to welcome new technology partners: HEQA Security, LuxQuanta, Quantum Optics Jena, and ThinkQuantum to our Clarion KX ecosystem.

JPMorgan Chase has successfully implemented a high-speed quantum-secured crypto-agile network (Q-CAN), connecting two data centers over deployed fibers. A third quantum node has also been established, which is currently serving as a research platform for testing next-generation quantum technologies applicable to banking and finance.

This demonstration showcases the ability of quantum communication technology to efficiently work alongside the DWDM optical network.

QuintessenceLabs, an industry leader in quantum cybersecurity, and Carahsoft Technology Corp., The Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider®, today announced a partnership. Under the agreement, Carahsoft will serve as QuintessenceLabs' Public Sector distributor, enabling the Public Sector to build a quantum-resilient security posture to address the risk of both conventional and quantum computing attacks on sensitive data.
