OQC and QinetiQ Demonstrate Quantum Algorithm Enhancing Defence Network Resilience
OQC and QinetiQ have successfully shown a real-world quantum computing application to enhance defence network resilience. On February 10, 2026, they integrated QinetiQ's Quantum Approximation Optimisation Algorithm with OQC's Toshiko quantum computer to identify vulnerabilities in Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks, crucial for military operations. This collaboration highlights the operational value of quantum technology in securing communications.

OQC and QinetiQ demonstrated a quantum computing application aimed at enhancing defence network resilience on February 10, 2026. They integrated QinetiQ's Quantum Approximation Optimisation Algorithm (QinetiQAOA) with OQC's Toshiko quantum computer to identify vulnerabilities in Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANETs), which are essential for military and emergency operations.
This partnership indicates that quantum systems can effectively reveal network weaknesses, leading to more secure communications. OQC is also establishing a network of sovereign quantum computers in London, Tokyo, and New York, ensuring secure access for defence partners and maintaining control over sensitive workloads.
