Start with a conversation about your cryptographic posture.
IEEE Quantum Week 2026 (QCE26) is being held in Canada this year, at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre from September 13 to 18. The organizers report more than 2,200 registrants, ten keynotes, 47 workshops, 48 tutorials, 372 technical papers, and a networks and communications track alongside the co-located QSEEC program on quantum security, encryption, and cryptography.
For the Canadian ecosystem it is a rare week when the international quantum research, engineering, and vendor community is gathered in one Canadian city. Expect a run of company announcements timed to the conference; we will treat those as claims until the underlying results are published.
Conference weeks produce announcements faster than evidence. Our filter is simple: is it a standard you can deploy, a result that is published, or a claim timed to a keynote? The first two go in the Library. The third waits. Canada hosting the week is good for the ecosystem, and what gets validated afterward is what changes a roadmap.
