Quantum Computing Inc. ("QCi" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:QUBT) an innovative, quantum optics and integrated photonics technology company, and Ciena (NASDAQ:CIEN) today announced a joint demonstration of next-generation quantum secure communications at OFC 2026 in the Corporate Village Booth #5355. The live demonstration showcases a comprehensive security architecture integrating quantum key distribution, quantum authentication, classical authentication, and high-performance AES-256-GCM optical encryption.

The solution is designed to address both current cybersecurity threats and future risks posed by quantum computers running Shor's algorithm by combining optical-layer encryption with quantum-secure and post-quantum cryptographic techniques.
