About Applied Quantum
Applied Quantum works only in quantum. The firm secures cryptographic infrastructure for the quantum era, runs PQC migration programmes at enterprise scale, advises governments and large enterprises on quantum strategy and sovereignty, and builds quantum computers from open-architecture modular components, delivered operational rather than as design documents.
The security practice starts with what you already have. A cryptographic inventory and CBOM across IT and OT estates, a map of long-lived data, and a risk-based view of which systems need attention first. That map drives PQC and crypto-agility programmes built to work in complex environments and aligned with NIST standards and sector regulators, so you can prove your quantum readiness and then improve it.
The team combines physicists, engineers, cryptographers and computer scientists with decades of cybersecurity and enterprise leadership. Guidance is vendor-neutral and standards-aligned. Recommendations rest on open standards and independent evaluation, not on any single vendor's roadmap.

What they offer
Quantum readiness assessment
Assesses your cryptographic estate, workforce readiness and regulatory alignment, and tells you where to act first.
appliedquantum.comCryptographic inventory and CBOM
Maps every algorithm, key and certificate in use, ranks quantum exposure by system criticality and delivers a migration roadmap.
appliedquantum.comPQC implementation
Selects and deploys quantum-resistant algorithms against NIST standards, integrated with existing systems without disrupting operations.
appliedquantum.comCrypto-agility consulting
Builds infrastructure and teams that can swap cryptographic algorithms as routine, so the next transition is faster and cheaper.
appliedquantum.comQuantum sovereignty assessment
Maps a government's or enterprise's quantum dependencies across hardware, software, cloud, talent and investment, then stress-tests them.
appliedquantum.comQuantum systems integration
Quantum computers built from open-architecture modular components and delivered operational, with sovereign optionality.
appliedquantum.comWho they work with
Case studies

-
National quantum programme
Dependency map and tabletop stress test led to new procurement policies requiring sovereignty impact assessments.
-
Large telecom provider
Multi-year quantum-readiness and PQC migration programme across IT, network and OT, with CBOMs and a phased crypto-agility roadmap.
-
Group of banks and a central infrastructure operator
Cryptographic map of the interbank payment stack, from customer channels to RTGS settlement, with PQC adoption recommendations.
-
Critical infrastructure operator
Formal quantum-risk profile, readiness baseline and a prioritised roadmap covering PQC, network security, sensing pilots and workforce.
-
Financial-sector consortium
Independent evaluation of a vendor's quantum-resistant key management claims, with safe deployment patterns and residual risks.
