ID Quantique

ID Quantique develops quantum-safe communications and quantum detection systems, working with governments, telecommunications operators and banking and financial institutions to defend against "harvest-now, decrypt-later" attacks, in which encrypted traffic is intercepted today for decryption once quantum computers become capable of it. The company is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, operates globally and is part of IonQ.

Its technology portfolio spans quantum key distribution (QKD), quantum random number generation (QRNG) and single-photon detection. ID Quantique has developed and industrialised quantum random number generators and produces superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPD) for use in quantum communication, quantum computing, quantum sensing and ultra-sensitive imaging. Its QKD systems support quantum-safe communications over both terrestrial and space-based networks.

The company's quantum-safe networks are currently operating globally, and its detection systems are aimed at enabling further advances in quantum communication, computing and sensing, including space-based quantum networks. ID Quantique partners with researchers and technology innovators worldwide and works on the commercialisation of quantum technologies for organisations requiring high levels of information security.
