Arqit Quantum Inc. is a UK‐based cybersecurity company specializing in quantum-safe encryption solutions designed to protect sensitive data from current and emerging cyber threats. The company’s core technology leverages principles of quantum physics to generate and distribute encryption keys in a way that remains impervious to attacks, including those enabled by future quantum computers. Arqit’s platform is designed to integrate with existing IT infrastructures without requiring hardware upgrades, offering end‐to‐end data protection for enterprises, governments and critical infrastructure providers.
The company’s flagship QuantumCloud platform uses a patented key distribution architecture to deliver symmetrical keys to endpoints across distributed networks. By combining satellite‐ and ground-based operations, QuantumCloud ensures that encryption keys are never stored in a central location, reducing risk of compromise. This approach allows organizations to deploy quantum-resistant encryption at scale, securing communications, Internet of Things (IoT) devices and cloud environments.
Founded in 2018 by entrepreneur Mike Lynch, Arqit went public via a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) merger in 2021. Headquartered in London, the company maintains offices in the United States and collaborates with defense agencies, financial institutions and technology partners around the world. Strategic alliances include partnerships with government bodies and industry leaders seeking to future-proof their cybersecurity architectures.
Led by CEO Paul Taylor and a team of cybersecurity and quantum science experts, Arqit continues to advance its technology roadmap with ongoing research and development efforts. The company is focused on expanding commercial deployments, forging new alliances and driving adoption of quantum-safe encryption solutions to address evolving cyber risks on a global scale.
