In the first of our quarterly updates, we look at the latest news and developments that have made the headlines in the quantum computing industry throughout Q1 of 2019.

We then explore the guidance that executives are being offered to help them prepare their organisations for the quantum age, which includes implementing quantum-secure cybersecurity.

As new research is released, to which ID Quantique has contributed, we look at the current status of quantum technologies advancements in France as the country drives investment in the industry.

Finally, we invite you to save the date for the 2019 Quantum Industry Day in Switzerland. The event will take place in Zurich on 4 October and registrations will open shortly.

Best regards,
