Q+AI and PQC+IQT are getting smaller and smaller in the rearview mirror, but their memories can stay with us. We are gathering as much multimedia as we can, not just from what we recorded, but from what our sponsors, speakers, and attendees recorded, as well. Obviously, nothing beats having been there in person, both professionally and personally. We know that more podcasts and photos are forthcoming, and we will share those as they publish. And of course, we’ll see you in person at IQT Korea and Q+AI Munich; bring your handshakes and your appetites.

On-site Mini-podcasts

Carlos Moreira, Founder and CEO of WISeKey ($WQEY), SEALSQ ($LAES), and WISeSat ($SAIQ)

I asked Mr. Moreira about what’s prompting companies to invest in quantum security now and what’s holding others back, where he’s seeing demand, the practical hurdles that customers face, how their concerns extend to satellite communications, where the technology stands today, what still needs to happen, what’s next for quantum security and secure satellite communications, how to build security that will hold up in the years ahead, where quantum-resistant technology is needed the most, the security challenges of expanding satellite connectivity, the efforts to gain greater control over critical tech, and how access to public markets supports further development.

Simon Pamplin, CTO at Certes

I asked Mr. Pamplin, “We talk about the threat of quantum to cryptography and we talk about the threat of AI to cryptography, but what happens when quantum and AI work together?”

Dr. Reza Nejabati, Head of Quantum Research & Quantum Labs, Cisco

I asked Dr. Nejabati about the components needed for quantum datacenters.

Dr. Garfield Jones, Senior Vice President Global Strategy & Research, QuSecure

I asked Dr. Jones, “QuSecure recently ranked 526 on this year’s Inc. 5000 annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. Is this a signal that folks are finally waking up to the need to migrate to PQC, or is this just great news for QuSecure and folks still need to wake up?”

Slideshows

PQC+IQT 2026, New York City

IQT’s newest conference, PQC+IQT, aims to become the leading event worldwide devoted to post-quantum computing and cryptography strategies. The initial single-day program took place on October 26, 2026, to registrants of Q+AI 2026 (3.0). Separate registration for PQC+IQT was available. PQC+IQT is not just partnered with Q+AI, IQT’s industry-leading flagship conference; it is modeled after it. It was a deep exploration of this crucial topic, every facet of it, without veering off into tangential cryptography and cybersecurity topics. Q+AI’s trademark networking opportunities were adapted to PQC.
