Course Overview

Quantum communications leverage quantum mechanics principles to enable ultra-secure information exchange, with technologies such as Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and quantum-safe cryptography emerging as strategic capabilities for national security, defense, finance, and critical infrastructure. This course provides a non-mathematical, systems-level introduction to quantum communications, focusing on concepts, architectures, security implications, and readiness assessment. Participants will gain insight into how quantum communications may impact existing telecom networks, encryption practices, and national cybersecurity strategies, and how governments and regulators can prepare for future adoption.
