Top Quantum Cryptographic Companies in 2026

PQC

Insider Brief The quantum-safe cryptography ecosystem has expanded well beyond a handful of startups. Following NIST’s finalization of post-quantum cryptography (PQC) standards in August 2024 and the selection of HQC as an additional algorithm in March 2025, organizations across every sector are now working to migrate their cryptographic infrastructure. The result is a broad, fragmented […]

Study Shows Quantum Sensors Can Be Actively Moved Inside Cells For Real-Time Data

quantum sensors

Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have developed a technique to precisely manoeuvre quantum sensors through highly viscous biological environments, such as the interior of living cells, using magnetic microbots. This opens up possibilities for real-time, minimally invasive measurement of parameters like local viscosity and temperature inside cells. […]
