ICQCS 2026 is a five-day conference dedicated to quantum-safe communication, bringing together communities that are often split across separate venues: post-quantum cryptography (PQC), QKD theory and protocols, and experimental QKD and network integration. Hosted in central Paris, ICQCS aims to enable genuine technical cross-fertilization between cryptographers, experimentalists, engineers, systems/network researchers, and industry stakeholders. The program combines keynote-tutorial talks, invited presentations, posters, and a dedicated industry session.

Co-organized by QuanTiP and the MSCA QSI project, ICQCS 2026 offers keynote-tutorial and invited talks—clear, technical, and cross-disciplinary—covering PQC, QKD (theory & experiment), beyond-QKD quantum cryptography, and quantum networks, with posters and an industry session.
