Quantum security is no longer a challenge for the distant future. Anna Beata Kalisz Hedegaard, CEO of Quantum Security Defense, explains why governments, defence organisations and critical infrastructure operators need to act now — and how quantum-safe architectures, post-quantum cryptography and a clear migration strategy can strengthen resilience and technological sovereignty.
Quantum technologies are regarded as a key technology for the coming years – but where do we really stand on the path to industrial application? Which areas of application are particularly promising, and what is needed to turn technological potential into economic reality? Dr Katrin Kobe, CEO of Bosch Quantum Sensing, hosting partner of Quantum Effects, discusses this.
Quantum technologies are regarded as a strategic field of the future in Europe – but how can scientific excellence be turned into industrial value creation? Which market segments are gaining momentum, where do the biggest opportunities for companies lie, and what role does the European ecosystem play? We spoke to Dr Thomas Strohm, President of QuIC, the European industry association for quantum technologies. In the interview, he shares insights into current developments, market potential and the importance of platforms such as Quantum Effects 2026.
How can quantum computing be turned into a tool for real-world industrial optimisation? In this interview, Michael Lachner, CEO of Aqarios and winner of the 2025 Quantum Effects Award in the Quantum Computing Software & Algorithms category, discusses the idea behind Aqarios Luna, the journey from research to practical application, the impact of the award, and the next steps for his company.
In the interview, Michael Hahn, CEO of duotec and winner of the Quantum Effects Award 2025 in the category Quantum Communication & Networks, talks about the path from idea to application, the impact of the award and the opportunities offered by the 2026 competition.
How can we detect even the weakest magnetic fields in the human body – contactless and under everyday conditions – and turn them into precise commands for protheses or into vital data? Answers to this and man other questions will be given at Quantum Effects in Stuttgart on 7th and 8th Oct 2025.
How we can detect even the weakest magnetic fields in the human body – and generate precise control commands for prostheses or vital data from them – Dr Urs Schneider, Scientific Director for Health and Bioproduction Technology, Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation IPA, explains in this interview how quantum magnetic field sensors open up new perspectives in diagnostics, imaging and therapy.
With their IQM Resonance platform, the Finnish-German enterprise IQM Quantum Computers will set new standards for a user-centred quantum hardware approach.
