Overview

Q*Bird is proud to participate as a Silver Sponsor and exhibitor at the 6th edition of the Quantum Matter International Conference & Expo (QUANTUMatter 2026), taking place in Barcelona, Spain.

QUANTUMatter2026 brings together leading researchers, industry innovators and technology developers working at the forefront of quantum information science, quantum materials and next-generation quantum technologies. The event serves as a platform to foster collaboration, exchange ideas and accelerate progress across key domains including quantum communication, quantum sensing and quantum simulation.

As part of the exhibition, Q*Bird will take a deep dive into MDI-QKD Falqon® Series, enabling scalable, quantum secure communication networks designed for real-world deployment across telecom and critical infrastructure environments. Our team will be on-site to engage with the global quantum community and discuss how quantum secure communication can be integrated into existing network infrastructures to ensure long-term security and resilience.

But that’s not all!

????️ Date: 28 April 2026

???? Speaker: Dr. Ingrid Romijn – CEO & Co-Founder, Q*Bird

Topic: Scaling quantum secure networks with Q*Bird’s MDI-QKD

In this session, Dr. Ingrid will explore how Measurement-Device-Independent Quantum Key Distribution (MDI-QKD) enables the transition from laboratory research to scalable, multi-node quantum secure networks. The talk will highlight how these networks can be integrated with existing fibre and telecom infrastructure, delivering interoperable, future-proof security against both classical and quantum-enabled threats.

By participating in QUANTUMatter 2026, Q*Bird continues to contribute to the advancement of quantum communication technologies, bridging the gap between foundational science and real-world deployment.

We look forward to connecting with researchers, industry leaders and partners in Barcelona to explore the future of quantum secure communication networks!
