ROUND TABLE

Quantum Technology for Defence

Quantum technologies are set to revolutionize many sectors by enabling faster computation, more sensitive sensors, and highly secure communications. Quantum technologies will have a major impact on security and are expected to provide new opportunities for defence forces.

Quantum computing promises to significantly enhance data processing capabilities, improving, for instance, decision-making in real-time battle scenarios. Quantum sensors offer highly precise navigation and detection systems, allowing for better situational awareness in defence operations, even in GPS-denied environments. However, these technologies also present new challenges, as adversaries could exploit quantum capabilities to undermine current cryptographic systems and develop advanced surveillance techniques. Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) offers an innovative and future-proof method for securely protecting sensitive information.

To explore such advancements, the round table will delve into awareness of quantum technologies, their potential and deployment scenarios, especially for security and defence, and with a particular focus on different operational domains, including underwater. The session will also highlight the current state of QKD deployment and future challenges, especially its integration into emerging technologies like drones, unmanned vehicles, and others.
