At HP Amplify 2025, we announced the "world's first printers to protect against quantum computer attacks1."
The threat of quantum computers breaking asymmetric cryptography – the algorithms that our digital world relies on – grows every year. Experts think there's up to a 34% chance of this happening by 2034. This would put encrypted communications at risk, compromise the existing digital signatures used for verifying the integrity of firmware and software, and dissolve digital trust.
Without quantum resilience, a printer facing a quantum attack at the firmware level would be fully exposed through malicious firmware updates, giving the attacker stealthy, persistent and total control of the device.

- Q*Bird’s new Falqon MQS4000 Quantum Switch enables a multi-user, multipoint-to-multipoint Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) network .
- This new Quantum Switch has been successfully deployed and tested in the Netherlands and is ready for commercial deployment.
- Quantum Switch is now available commercially in both the QKD and quantum networking markets, as well as to vital infrastructure such as telecoms and data centers.
Next-generation communications security tech company Q*Bird has made a significant step forward in quantum networking, with the creation of technology to allow multiple users to set up a quantum link simultaneously.
