In this interview, Axel Föry, Executive Vice President Strategy and Business Development at ID Quantique, explains how quantum keys protect highly sensitive data, what practical applications already exist and why companies should start using quantum encryption today.

Quantum technology is in the process of making fundamental changes to traditional computing and offers opportunities that redefine our idea of efficiency and security. While traditional computers form the basis of today's digital infrastructure, quantum technology is opening up a whole new dimension: quantum computers utilise qubits that are capable of performing complex calculations in seconds that would take even today's supercomputers years to complete.
