SEALSQ Corp has unveiled what it calls the industry’s first hardware-embedded post-quantum security chip, the Quantum Shield QS7001, at the Quantum+AI 2025 Conference in New York. The chip integrates NIST-standardized algorithms directly in silicon — a key milestone for quantum-safe encryption in next-generation connected systems.
This announcement signals the beginning of a practical migration path toward quantum-safe hardware. As the threat of quantum decryption looms, the availability of native PQC chips could redefine how secure systems are built across Europe’s defense, industrial, and energy sectors.
