Quantum key distribution makes use of the laws of physics to provide a guaranteed level of security. Boiled down to its essential components, quantum systems must be measured to determine their state.

Quantum key distribution is supposed to be a replacement for, or used as an adjunct to, the current method for securing information. Currently, we use a public key distribution, ...

A claimed first-of-a-kind quantum key distribution network offers 800 Gbps encryption under real-world environmental conditions and has been demonstrated to detect and defend against quantum threats.

IonQ, a US-based quantum computing hardware and software company, has completed its acquisition of Capella Space to advance ...

Organizations responsible for data security cannot afford to wait for quantum to arrive before building their defenses.

As China accelerates its progress in quantum communications—mainly with space-based quantum key distribution (QKD)—IonQ, Inc. IONQ is racing to fortify its global leadership. The first-quarter 2025 ...

President Masoud Pezeshkian has declared the implementation of the ‘national document on quantum science and technology’.

Multi-party quantum key distribution paves the way for quantum-secure conference calls. Although the Toshiba system is still a prototype, members of the team are enthusiastic about the progress their ...

That said, these new, quantum-resistant algorithms have been in development since 2017, giving the bad guys plenty of time to see what’s coming and, one supposes, to be working on breaking them ...

Quantum Key Distribution could seal the 5G rift with China, say engineers Its biggest obstacle may not be about methodology so much as ideology. Written by Scott Fulton III, Contributor May 21 ...
