# In Washington, a Broad International Initiative Takes Shape Around Quantum Security

**[The Quantum Insider](https://daily.dev/sources/thequantuminsider)** · 6 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

The Year of Quantum Security 2026 launched in Washington with U.S. officials, industry leaders, and international diplomats addressing quantum security as an active infrastructure challenge. Discussions emphasized the multi-year timelines required to migrate cryptographic systems, the need to protect sensitive data with decades-long lifespans, and securing quantum technologies against intellectual property theft and supply chain risks. Participants from Google Quantum AI, IBM, IonQ, D-Wave, Quantinuum, and others stressed that early coordinated action across governments and industry is essential, as fragmented national approaches could create shared vulnerabilities. The initiative aims to drive awareness and readiness through international events throughout 2026.
