(\"QCi\" or the \"Company\") (Nasdaq: QUBT), a vertically integrated quantum\ncompany pioneering photonics and semiconductor manufacturing, today announced\nit will showcase, for the first time, an integrated quantum security platform\nthat brings encryption and authentication together in a single solution, at\nthe ECOC Exhibition 2026, September 21–23 at FYCMA in Málaga, Spain. At\nBooth #1436, QCi will demonstrate live quantum communication solutions\nleveraging time-frequency and polarization-based approaches, highlighting how\nquantum technologies are moving from research and development toward practical\nsolutions for securing the communications infrastructure of the future.\n\nAs organizations prepare for the post-quantum era, the challenge is no longer\nunderstanding the value of quantum-secure communications, but overcoming the\nbarriers that have limited deployment. Traditional QKD systems often face\nchallenges associated with scalability, operational complexity, infrastructure\ncost, and dependence on classical authentication methods. As a result, many\nquantum communication technologies have remained confined to specialized\nresearch environments.\n\nQCi's entanglement-based quantum security platform is designed to overcome\nthese limitations by bringing two critical elements of secure communications -\nencryption and authentication - together on a single platform. For the first\ntime, QCi will showcase an integrated quantum security solution that combines\nquantum key distribution (QKD) with hardware-based Quantum Identity\nAuthentication (QIA), demonstrating how quantum technologies can address both\nthe secure exchange of encryption keys and the fundamental need to establish\ntrusted identities between communicating parties.\n\nThe platform combines high-dimensional quantum key distribution, direct\nentanglement verification, Quantum Identity Authentication (QIA), and\nintegrated key management in a telecom-compatible architecture. QIA is based\non QCi's patented invention, \"Systems and Methods for Quantum-Secured,\nPrivate-Preserving Computations,\" which was granted patent protection in the\nUnited States and more than 40 other countries and was recognized with the\n44(th) Edison Patent Award, presented to Dr. Yuping Huang and Dr. Lac Nguyen\nfor their contributions to quantum-secured, privacy-preserving computing. The\npatented technology enables quantum authentication and verification of private\ninformation without requiring that information to be shared, addressing\nsecurity vulnerabilities beyond encryption alone. By reducing dependence on\nclassical authentication, supporting wavelength-multiplexed scaling across\nmultiple nodes, and operating in a compact room-temperature form factor, QCi\nis advancing a practical path toward deployable quantum-secure networking\ninfrastructure.\n\nQCi is addressing that challenge with technologies designed to bring quantum\nsecurity into practical communications environments.\n\nAt ECOC, QCi will feature the following at Booth #1436:\n\n * Flexible Quantum Instrumentation & Metrology\nQCi will demonstrate a highly adaptable platform for quantum measurement,\ncharacterization and system development. The platform is designed to help\nresearchers, developers and engineers to understand, test and validate quantum\ntechnologies and concepts, supporting next generation quantum applications,\nand transitioning laboratory concepts toward practical systems.\n \n * Quantum-Secured Communications Solution\nQCi will showcase an integrated solution combining Quantum Key Distribution\n(QKD) with hardware-based Quantum Identity Authentication (QIA). QIA leverages\nQCi's Quantum Zero-Knowledge Proof (QZKP) technology to provide quantum-safe\nauthentication without relying solely on computational cryptography.\n \n * Photonics Components on Display\nQCi will also showcase its advanced photonics components, highlighting the\ncritical building blocks that enable next-generation quantum and optical\ncommunications systems and underscoring the Company's vertically integrated\napproach to photonics technology and manufacturing.\nTogether, these technologies demonstrate a more comprehensive approach to\nquantum-secured communications by addressing both the secure exchange of\ncryptographic keys and the fundamental need to establish trust between\ncommunicating parties.\n\n\"The transition to quantum-secure communications is no longer a long-term\ntechnology discussion. Organizations are beginning to consider what it will\ntake to protect communications and critical data against the quantum and AI\nthreat,\" said Yong Meng Sua, Chief Technology Officer of QCi. \"At ECOC, we're\nshowing what the future can look like in practice. Our demonstrations bring\ntogether quantum authentication, quantum key distribution and the\ninstrumentation required to develop and validate quantum systems, giving the\ntelecomm industry a firsthand look at how quantum technologies can strengthen\nthe security of tomorrow's communications.\"\n\nQuantum-Authenticated Communications for Broad Security Applications\n\nQCi will also participate in the ECOC Product Focus Theatre with a\npresentation exploring the role of quantum authentication in securing\ncommunications across a broad range of applications. Titled \"The Quantum\nSecure Solution: Quantum-authenticated communications for broad applications\nin security,\" the presentation will take place on Wednesday, September 23,\nfrom 14:50 to 15:10 and will be delivered by Massimo Di Blasio, Director,\nProduct Line Management/Business Development at QCi.\n\nThe presentation will examine how quantum-authenticated communications can\nprovide new approaches to establishing identity and trust in secure\ncommunications systems as organizations prepare for the evolving quantum\nthreat.\n\n\"Optical communications form the foundation of the connected world, and\nsecurity has to evolve alongside the networks themselves,\" said Sua. \"Quantum\ntechnologies have the potential to fundamentally change how we establish trust\nand protect information.
