Toshiba Quantum Technology

Toshiba Quantum Technology, founded in 1999 and based in Cambridge, UK, is a pioneering company specializing in quantum key distribution (QKD) and broader quantum-safe cybersecurity solutions. The company focuses on protecting sensitive data from future threats posed by quantum computing through the application of quantum physics to network communications. Toshiba Quantum delivers provably secure communication networks, offering solutions that are resilient against decryption by quantum computers without compromising performance.

A key differentiator for Toshiba Quantum is its demonstrated leadership in deploying QKD technology. The company has achieved several world firsts, including underpinning the world’s first quantum-secured metro network and successfully demonstrating QKD over live, national-scale telecommunications infrastructure, achieving multiplexing of over 30 Tbps of data. Recent partnerships, such as those with Orange Business, BT, Equinix, and ST Engineering, demonstrate a commitment to commercializing quantum-safe network services and expanding reach into new markets like France and Southeast Asia.

Toshiba Quantum also offers integrated solutions combining QKD with post-quantum cryptography (PQC) for a defense-in-depth approach, and has successfully demonstrated QKD applications in diverse environments, including nuclear reactors and data center interconnectivity.
