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.
