The Post-Quantum Security Market is Heating Up The news of IonQ ’s potential $250M acquisition of ID Quantique is a clear signal that post-quantum security is no longer a distant concern—it’s an urgent market priority, particularly Quantum Key Distribution (#QKD). What’s particularly interesting is that this move comes from a quantum computing company, not a traditional networking vendor. IonQ deeply understands the disruptive power of quantum computing, and its move into QKD highlights the growing commercial interest—even from adjacent industries. So, what are network equipment vendors waiting for? The latest Appledore Research Market Outlook on Post Quantum Security (see link in comments) underscores that the market is primed for aggressive growth, with Quantum Key Distribution leading the way as organisations look for robust, hardware-based security against quantum threats. With the UN declaring 2025 the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, this is shaping to be a pivotal year for this industry. ??
