People building a brighter quantum-secure future
Luxquanta is a European quantum security company protecting critical communications infrastructure against current and future cyber threats. Founded in 2021 and headquartered in Barcelona, we bring together scientists, engineers, and industry experts to turn advanced quantum research into deployable security for real-world networks.
Born as a spin-off from ICFO – The Institute of Photonic Sciences, one of Europe’s leading research centers in photonics and quantum technologies, Luxquanta develops quantum communications and cryptographic technologies designed for the quantum era. Our mission is to turn cutting-edge European science into practical, scalable security that safeguards sensitive data for decades, strengthening sovereignty and trust across global critical infrastructure.
Because the future of security depends not only on technology, but on the people who build it responsibly and transparently.
