UK Firms Show Quantum Tech Can Expose Weak Points in Military Comms

Oxford Quantum Circuits (OQC) and QinetiQ have cracked the code on uncovering vulnerabilities in military communications systems using quantum computing.

In recent trials, QinetiQ used QQC’s Toshiko quantum computer via a secure cloud interface to see whether quantum tools could analyze complex communications networks.

The team focused on Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANET), infrastructure-free systems widely used in combat zones and disaster response, where units must stay connected without fixed towers or cables.
