Post-Quantum Cryptography Coalition

The Quantum lull in media is frustrating.

Friends,

As I struggle to find great Quantum startup stories in this period, my post frequency remains a bit less than usual. I assure you this is temporary. This story felt notable to me.

So what do people do in times of an economic slowdown? They team up. IBM Quantum and Microsoft have formed a coalition to tackle post-quantum cryptography alongside not-for-profit research tank MITRE, United Kingdom-based cryptography firm PQShield, Google sibling company SandboxAQ and the University of Waterloo.
