NIST to Release PQC Algorithms in the Summer

I am the Founder of Applied Quantum (AppliedQuantum.com), a research-driven professional services firm dedicated to helping organizations unlock the transformative power of quantum technologies. Alongside leading its specialized service, Secure Quantum (SecureQuantum.com)—focused on quantum resilience and post-quantum cryptography—I also invest in cutting-edge quantum ventures through Quantum.Partners. Currently, I’m completing a PhD in Quantum Computing and authoring an upcoming book “Practical Quantum Resistance” (QuantumResistance.com) while regularly sharing news and insights on quantum computing and quantum security at PostQuantum.com. I’m primarily a cybersecurity and tech risk expert with more than three decades of experience, particularly in critical infrastructure cyber protection. That focus drew me into quantum computing in the early 2000s, and I’ve been captivated by its opportunities and risks ever since. So my experience in quantum tech stretches back decades, having previously founded Boston Photonics and PQ Defense where I engaged in quantum-related R&D well before the field’s mainstream emergence. Today, with quantum computing finally on the horizon, I’ve returned to a 100% focus on quantum technology and its associated risks—drawing on my quantum and AI background, decades of cybersecurity expertise, and experience overseeing major technology transformations—all to help organizations and nations safeguard themselves against quantum threats and capitalize on quantum-driven opportunities.
