⚡ Quantum Brief
The International Conference on Quantum Communication and Security (ICQCS 2026) will convene in Paris from March 16–20, 2026, uniting experts in post-quantum cryptography, QKD, and network integration under one platform. ID Quantique’s CEO and IonQ VP Science, Grégoire Ribordy, will deliver a keynote on “Trends in Quantum Networking,” addressing the transition of quantum networks from research to critical infrastructure for governments, telecoms, and enterprises. The conference bridges gaps between cryptographers, engineers, and industry leaders to accelerate quantum-safe communication solutions, emphasizing real-world deployments combining QKD, quantum-safe cryptography, and classical networks. Ribordy’s talk will highlight the urgent “harvest now, decrypt later” threat, stressing the need for immediate long-term data protection strategies to counter future quantum decryption risks. ID Quantique will showcase quantum-safe solutions, offering on-site meetings to discuss resilient network architectures and compliance strategies for organizations facing evolving cyber threats.

International Conference on Quantum Communication and Security (ICQCS 2026), 16-20 March 2026, Paris, France ID Quantique, will join the International Conference on Quantum Communication and Security (ICQCS) in Paris from 16–20 March 2026. Our CEO & co‑founder and IonQ VP Science, Grégoire Ribordy, will deliver an industry keynote on “Trends in Quantum Networking”. ICQCS 2026 is a five-day conference dedicated to quantum-safe communication, bringing together communities that are often addressed separately: post-quantum cryptography, QKD theory and protocols, experimental QKD, and network integration. Hosted in central Paris, the event fosters collaboration between cryptographers, experimentalists, engineers, network architects and industry leaders to accelerate the next generation of secure communications. ID Quantique, an IonQ company, is proud to participate in the Industry Session, where Grégoire Ribordy (CEO & co-founder of ID Quantique, VP Science at IonQ) will deliver a keynote talk on: “Trends in Quantum Networking” In this session, Grégoire will explore how quantum networks are moving from research projects to critical infrastructure, and what this means for governments, telecom operators and enterprises that need to protect sensitive data for decades to come. He will highlight: How QKD, quantum-safe cryptography and classical networks come together in real-world deployments Why the “harvest now, decrypt later” risk makes long-term data protection urgent today Practical steps to start building resilient, quantum-safe network architectures that can evolve with future technologies As a global leader in quantum-safe security and quantum detection systems, ID Quantique helps customers future-proof mission-critical data, ensure compliance and reduce cyber risk in a rapidly changing threat landscape. Meet us at ICQCS 2026 If you’re attending ICQCS in Paris and would like to discuss how quantum-safe networking can enhance your organisation’s security strategy, we’d be delighted to meet you. Contact us to schedule a meeting on-site or to receive more information about our quantum-safe solutions. For more information about the event, you can also visit the ICQCS 2026 official website.
