KUALA LUMPUR: The country’s telecommunications companies need to adapt their structures and business models to face new challenges, in line with the rapid development of global communications technology, said Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil. He said the emergence of technologies such as quantum communications, quantum encryption and satellite communications is expected to change the industry landscape in the next five to 10 years, thus demanding immediate adaptation from industry players. “This challenge is not only from a security aspect, but also from an economic one. One of the biggest things is how telecommunications companies adapt,” he said at the Malaysian […]

Quantum Networking Just Found Its Missing Link

Scientists at the University of Warsaw have developed a new method for quantum key distribution (QKD) that improves both efficiency and practicality of secure communications. The team applied a 19th-century optical phenomenon called the Talbot effect, which allows light patterns to reconstruct over distance, to sequences of single photons. This enables the encoding of information in multiple time-bin superpositions rather than simple qubits, significantly increasing data capacity. Their experimental system can operate in four dimensions using standard components and a single photon detector, eliminating the need for complex interferometer networks and frequent recalibration. Tests conducted over several kilometers of the university’s fiber network confirmed that the approach is viable and enhances information efficiency. Collaboration with international quantum cryptography experts also ensured that the system maintains security against potential vulnerabilities. This breakthrough demonstrates a practical, scalable way to implement high-dimensional quantum encryption, paving the way for more secure digital communication and advancing expertise in quantum photonics at the University of Warsaw.

France’s cybersecurity agency ANSSI plans to stop certifying security products that do not implement quantum-resistant encryption by 2027, effectively forcing government agencies and critical infrastr

How Quantum-Safe Technologies Are Quietly Reshaping Espionage, Diplomacy, and Defence A few years ago, if someone mentioned encryption in a policy meeting, most political leaders would nod politely and let the technical team handle it. Today, that’s no longer the case. Quantum computing has changed the conversation. Not because machines are already breaking every password. They are not. But because we know it is possible.
