In technology, research and telecoms, quantum is both a product opportunity and a security obligation. Applied Quantum partners with cloud providers, vendors, telcos and research organisations to shape quantum aware roadmaps, harden platforms and bring credible quantum services and products to market.
Sector Overview
Technology companies, telecoms and research organisations are both building the quantum ecosystem and responsible for securing the platforms and networks everyone else runs on. That means living with deep technical uncertainty, long R&D horizons and short customer patience – all at once.
Quantum is not a side topic here. It shows up in product roadmaps, cloud offerings, network upgrades, research portfolios and standards work.
Who we work with
We support a broad range of organisations across the tech, research and telecommunications ecosystem:
- Cloud hyperscalers and large SaaS/PaaS providers – quantum services, PQC and crypto‑modernisation for platforms.
- Telecom and connectivity operators – fixed, mobile, satellite and backbone providers.
- Quantum hardware vendors – computing, sensing and communications.
- Cybersecurity vendors.
- Enterprise technology and infrastructure providers – servers, HSMs, networking, storage, middleware.
- Universities, national labs and research institutes with quantum, cryptography and advanced‑computing programmes.
- Deep‑tech and AI/ML companies exploring quantum and quantum‑inspired methods.
Where quantum matters
Building with quantum and quantum‑inspired methods
- Designing and deploying quantum computing, sensing and communications products and cloud services.
- Integrating quantum and quantum‑inspired methods into optimisation, analytics and AI offerings.
- Running research programmes and collaborations that push the state of the art.
Defending against the quantum computing threat
- PQC and crypto‑modernisation for cloud, identity, networking and security products.
- Quantum‑secure networking (PQC, QRNG, QKD) for telcos and backbone providers.
- Securing quantum systems themselves, especially classical–quantum interfaces and control planes.
Key challenges we see in tech and telecom
- Balancing credible long‑term roadmaps with noisy vendor and research narratives.
- Building “quantum” products and quantum-securing existing ones.
- Navigating standards, interoperability and regulatory uncertainty.
- Limited engineering capacity.
- Managing complex partnership portfolios.
How Applied Quantum helps
- Quantum Security, PQC & Risk – PQC, crypto‑agility and quantum‑security architectures for platforms, identity, networking and key management; validation of “quantum‑safe” products.
- Strategy & Opportunity – quantum product and platform strategies, market positioning, ecosystem mapping and partnership strategies.
- Engineering & Implementation – R&D and PoC support for quantum software, hardware integration, quantum networks, QKD, QRNG and cloud‑based quantum services.
- Commercialization & TTO Support – commercialisation of quantum IP from labs, spin‑out support, consortium and partnership design around flagship quantum initiatives.
If you’re building or operating the platforms and networks others will rely on in a quantum world, we’d like to work with you.
From PQC and quantum secure networking to product strategy and R&D support, we can help you decide where to invest, how to differentiate and how to keep your stack – and your customers – safe.
