Consulting / National Intelligence
High-impact workshops for national intelligence stakeholders evaluating quantum risk and opportunity. Eight use-case sessions and four deep-dive technical briefings, delivered by world experts. Members receive a 20% discount.
Quantum technologies are moving from research to operational deployment. For national intelligence organisations, this creates both capability opportunities and asymmetric risks. Our workshops provide the technical grounding to make informed decisions on both.
All sessions are delivered by subject-matter experts with direct experience in quantum technologies and national security applications. Each session is fully vendor-agnostic and customisable to your organisation's requirements.
In-depth examination of China's quantum communication and sensing activities and implications for national and economic security in the EU and UK. Covers industrial strategy, standardization, competitive intelligence, and regulatory implications. Delivered in collaboration with L.I.A. Chatham House Rules.
Eight structured sessions covering the highest-impact quantum applications for national intelligence. Each session combines technical depth with operational context.
Quantum optimisation can allocate ISR platforms, schedule satellite tasking, route autonomous sensor swarms, and prioritise data ingestion across competing theatres faster and more accurately than classical solvers. This session examines the algorithms, current hardware constraints, and procurement pathways.
Quantum-accelerated optimisation and sampling can improve multi-factor intelligence analysis: anomaly detection in signals traffic, pattern extraction in HUMINT/SIGINT fusion, and rapid course-of-action modelling under uncertainty. Covers both near-term quantum-inspired and longer-horizon fault-tolerant approaches.
Quantum-resistant encryption, quantum key establishment, and quantum-secure networking reduce the risk of Harvest Now, Decrypt Later (HNDL) exploitation. This session covers PQC standards, QKD deployment options, and practical migration planning for long-lived operational communications.
Quantum clocks and inertial sensors enable GPS-independent navigation for aircraft, naval assets, missiles, and special operations teams in GPS-denied environments and under active jamming or deception. Covers the current state of quantum PNT systems and their integration into existing platforms.
Once fault-tolerant machines exist, quantum algorithms could dramatically reduce the time required to break certain classes of classical encryption. This session examines the Shor algorithm timeline, implications for current cryptographic protections, and the urgency of PQC migration for intelligence archives.
Ultra-sensitive quantum magnetometers, gravimeters, and RF sensors promise detection of low-observable platforms, hardened facilities, and underwater assets. Covers the physics, development timelines, and strategic implications for counter-stealth and anti-submarine intelligence.
Quantum-safe signing, unclonable quantum tokens, and advanced cryptographic proofs strengthen authenticity verification for chips, components, and firmware entering sensitive intelligence supply chains. Examines the threat model, available tools, and procurement standards.
Quantum simulation accelerates discovery of new materials for secure communications devices, sensors, shielding, low-signature coatings, and energy-dense field equipment. Covers the state of quantum chemistry computation and its application to national security materials research.
Advanced briefings for technical and senior leadership audiences. These sessions go beyond the use-case overview to examine standards, procurement, and policy implications in depth.
