Quantum.Tech 2024

23rd September – Quantum.Tech Cryptography Spotlight Day | 24th – 25th September - Main Conference

Twickenham Stadium, London

CRYPTOGRAPHY SPOTLIGHT - Monday 23rd September

Discover the Future of Secure Communications: Join us for an immersive one-day Quantum Cryptography Spotlight to open this year’s Quantum.Tech Europe., where cutting-edge quantum technology meets the world of cybersecurity. 

 

In an era of unprecedented technological advancement, quantum computing poses both incredible opportunities and formidable threats to information security. The Quantum Cryptography Bootcamp at Quantum.Tech USA offers a unique opportunity for professionals, researchers, and enthusiasts to delve into the fascinating realm of quantum cryptography. 

 

This one-day event will bring together experts, thought leaders, and practitioners from the quantum and cybersecurity fields to provide a comprehensive introduction to quantum cryptography, its significance in the digital age, and its potential to revolutionize secure communication, financial services and government.
