Toshiba Quantum Technology

Securing our
quantum future

At Toshiba, we’re committed to delivering world-leading technology that protects the private information of citizens and organizations.

As quantum computing becomes more widely available, the volume and severity of cyber attacks will put sensitive data under threat like never before. Only quantum-secure solutions will be able to withstand decryption from quantum computers, which will have the power to bypass current encryption methods in minutes.

Our quantum cyber security solutions, based on decades of scientific research, apply the fundamental laws of quantum physics to deliver provably secure network communications that will remain resilient even in the age of quantum computing.

We’re Quantum
Security Pioneers

Toshiba has been at the forefront of quantum computing technology since 1999. Our solutions underpin the world’s first quantum-secured metro network, and we’ve created a quantum-secure communication platform that makes existing data-carrying networks safe from attack by quantum computers, without any compromise to performance.

We’ve achieved a series of world firsts in quantum technology deployment, developing quantum-secure and future-proof network communications infrastructures that can protect data from any threat – even those posed by quantum computers.

We’re pleased to unveil new research that could make national-scale #quantum communications a reality.

Our latest paper, published in Nature Magazine, details how a world-first trial using our new coherent quantum communication technology has achieved a breakthrough in sharing quantum-safe information across distances of more than 250km.

By using simple semiconductor technology instead of complex cryogenic components, our new approach is capable of overcoming key cost and logistical barriers facing long-distance quantum communications networks.

To coincide with this years’ World Quantum Day, the UK Government has announced its investing £121 million in quantum technology to tackle crime, fraud, and money laundering!

At Toshiba, we’re committed to ensuring our bright quantum future remains secure, with our Quantum Key Distribution technology designed to safeguard sensitive information from quantum-powered attacks.

HSBC bank, who have been working closely with government backed partner National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) in finding ways quantum can be used to identify indicators of money laundering, know what’s at stake in achieving quantum-safe communications. That’s why, HSBC was the first bank to join BT Group and Toshiba’s pioneering commercial quantum secure metro network, to safeguard financial transactions and data well into the future: https://lnkd.in/giQhBZUn
