Florida Identified as Defense-Focused Quantum Tech Hub
A new report says Florida is emerging as a key player in quantum technology, especially projects linked to national defense. The study, commissioned by FloridaCommerce, highlights priorities like post-quantum cryptography, quantum sensors, and secure communications. It outlines a five-year plan for expanding funded pilots and access to testbeds, aiming to move quantum applications from lab research to real-world use. Full findings will be presented at the Quantum Beach conference in 2026.
