About PQQS

The ACM Conference on Post-Quantum and Quantum-based Security (PQQS) is a new annual forum dedicated to research at the intersection of cybersecurity and quantum technologies. Its inaugural edition establishes an international venue for advancing the theory and practice of information security in the emerging quantum era.

The conference brings together researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and government to advance both foundational and applied aspects of classical and quantum approaches to information security, including post-quantum cryptography, information-theoretic cryptography, and quantum cryptography. It also explores novel applications of quantum technologies to information security. PQQS aims to provide a unified venue for rigorous, forward-looking research addressing the challenges of securing information in a quantum-enabled world.
