Broadband Breakfast on March 25, 2026 – Quantum Computing

As quantum computing moves from laboratory curiosity to near-term reality, its implications for broadband infrastructure, network security, and data transmission are coming into sharp focus. This panel – which will address both quantum computing and quantum communications – brings together leading researchers, telecom executives, and policy experts to explore how quantum technologies could reshape encryption standards, accelerate network optimization, and create new demands on broadband capacity. From post-quantum cryptography mandates to the buildout of quantum-safe networks, attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the critical decisions that will define the industry's quantum future.
