Increasing commercial interest in Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) is being fed by (1) the selection of four PQC standards by NIST in 2022, together with (2) sped-up scenarios for quantum computers able to crack conventional encryption schemes. The PQC market is potentially huge. Consider that, with an assist from a quantum computer, Shor’s algorithm can be …

In April 2017, D-Wave closed its first $30 million investment in convertible notes and then received a conditional commitment from Public Sector Pension Investment Board (PSP Investments) for an additional $20 million. The conditions for this second $20 million have now been met and this new money will now flow to D-Wave Systems. In addition, …
Research for CIR’s latest report on quantum technology, “Quantum Computing: Applications, Software and End-User Markets,” has given us important insights into which industry sectors will be the first commercial adopters of quantum computing and why. By “commercial” we simply refer here to quantum computers deployed outside of the research and defense communities. These two communities …
