Applied Quantum is the first professional services firm dedicated to quantum technologies across computing, communications, sensing, and simulation. We deliver quantum-focused end-to-end advisory, R&D, and systems integration. On the security front we execute cryptographic inventories and cryptographic bills of materials (CBOMs), build enterprise crypto agility, plan and deliver PQC migrations and hybrid patterns, and design quantum safe networks (including QKD where warranted), with governance and compliance built in. The result is a de-risked path from exploration to business outcomes – without hype or lock in.

Quantum Low-Density Parity-Check (qLDPC) Codes
Quantum Low-Density Parity-Check (qLDPC) codes are an emerging class of quantum error-correcting codes that promise to significantly reduce the overhead required for fault-tolerant quantum computing. Much like their classical LDPC counterparts, qLDPC codes are defined by sparse parity-check constraints: each ...
Pinnacle Architecture: 100,000 Qubits to Break RSA-2048, but at What Cost?
Iceberg Quantum's Pinnacle Architecture paper claims RSA-2048 can be factored with fewer than 100,000 physical qubits - a genuine 10× reduction over the previous state of the art - by replacing surface codes with quantum LDPC codes. The result is ...
Payments and the Race to Quantum Safety / Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC)
The payments industry has navigated big cryptographic transitions before. The migration from magnetic stripes to EMV chips took the better part of two decades and cost billions. The shift from SHA-1 to SHA-256 certificates was painful but bounded - it ...
120,000 Tasks: Why Post‑Quantum (PQC) Migration Is Enormous
When I tell fellow CISOs, board members, or even seasoned program managers that the integrated program plan for a comprehensive quantum security / post-quantum cryptography (PQC) migration I recently worked on contained over 120,000 discrete tasks, the reaction is almost ...
QuantWare
QuantWare is a Delft, Netherlands-based quantum computing startup that provides superconducting quantum processors as off-the-shelf products. Founded in 2021 as a spin-out from TU Delft’s QuTech institute by Matt Rijlaarsdam and Alessandro Bruno, the company aims to be the “Intel ...
China Just Pushed Device-Independent QKD (DI-QKD) to 100 Kilometres
A team at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) published a paper in Science that quietly redrew the map of what device-independent quantum key distribution (DI-QKD) can do. Led by Bo-Wei Lu, Chao-Wei Yang, Run-Qi Wang, Xiao-Hui ...
Quantum Open Architecture (QOA): The “PC Moment” of Quantum Computing
Today, a sea change is underway. Quantum Open Architecture (QOA) is doing for quantum computing what the PC revolution did for classical computing - opening up the ecosystem. Just as the computing world shifted from monolithic mainframes to modular PCs ...
Quantum Sovereignty in Practice: When Geopolitics Becomes Architecture
At its core, quantum sovereignty means having full control over the critical layers of quantum technology domestically - the ability to design, manufacture, and operate quantum systems without external dependency. In practice, this implies a country could build a complete ...
The Cryptographic Iceberg Inside a Mobile Banking Transaction
A single mobile banking payment triggers millions of cryptographic function calls across nine parties. Here's what actually happens - from silicon to settlement - and why it matters for quantum readiness. The Cryptographic Iceberg Inside a Mobile Banking Transaction 320 ...
