Quantum Technology for Stronger National Security: PQC, Encryption & IP

Last Updated: January 9, 2026By

Boosting National Security Through Quantum Technology

As we venture deeper into the era of quantum computing, there’s a pivotal event you shouldn’t miss. Join us on January 12, 2026, from 1:30 PM to 6:00 PM ET at Holland & Knight’s office in Washington, D.C., for a seminar titled “Quantum Technology: Advancing National Security.” Hosted by Holland & Knight, Quantum Coast Capital, and the Quantum Industry Coalition, this event is set to break new ground in the conversation around quantum security.

The seminar zeroes in on two critical topics:

  • Countering Quantum Threats: Learn about leveraging post-quantum cryptography (PQC) to defend against looming quantum threats.
  • Protecting Quantum Innovations: Gain insights into safeguarding intellectual property for firms advancing in quantum tech.

Hear from authoritative voices, including representatives from the FBI, CISA, and NIST, as they unpack the federal stance on these issues. A follow-up panel with esteemed industry leaders will discuss best practices for aligning with both federal and international PQC guidelines.

Event Highlights and Speakers

This seminar provides a unique platform for discussions on quantum technology’s role in national security, concluding with a networking cocktail reception. The agenda promises comprehensive perspectives:

  • Insights on countering adversarial threats from the FBI’s QISCPT
  • NIST’s updates on PQC standards and resources from NCCoE
  • CISA’s guidance on encryption vulnerabilities

Featured speakers include industry titans like Steven Keller from D-Wave, Noel Goddard of Qunnect, and Craig Miller from IonQ. Expect thought-provoking dialogues moderated by Paul Stimers of Holland & Knight and Matt Cimaglia from Quantum Coast Capital.
