The Virtual Executive Conferencedebating on the state of the quantum threat and quantum risk management is organized in partnership with the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) and TelecomTV .

The Virtual Executive Conference is the first part of the overall ETSI IQC Quantum Safe Cryptography Virtual Event. A second part consists of a Technical Track that will be broadcasted at a later stage. Stay tuned!

Photons in Space: the Next Frontier! These are the voyages of Canada's first Quantum Satellite Mission - the Quantum EncrYption and Science Satellite (QEYSSat). Its upcoming mission: To explore strange new physics, and enable secure communication across Canada and around the world. To seek out new discoveries and new ways to communicate... To boldly send photons where none have gone before!
