The advent of quantum computers poses a significant threat to our digital security infrastructure and needs to be addressed with urgency. In this keynote, you will learn how and why quantum computers can break the encryption schemes we currently use, what this means for your organisation, and which solutions are available to safeguard your data and strengthen your resilience against the looming quantum threat.
Born in 1994 in Como, Italy, I obtained a Master's degree in Physics at the University of Milan in 2019. I then moved on to spend my next four years obtaining a PhD in theoretical quantum cryptography at the Heinrich-Heine University in Duesseldorf. From 2023 to 2025 I worked at Gent University for the BeQCI project, a testbed to deploy quantum communication technology for real use cases, where I was in charge of the dissemination and communication activities. Since January 2026, I am working for IMEC in the BENELUX-QCI project, the cross-border follow-up of BeQCI, with the same responsibilities.
