Nanyang Technological University (NTU) Singapore has launched the Quantum Sovereignty and Resilience (QUASAR) programme, a pioneering research initiative in quantum cybersecurity, with support from a German non-profit.
The programme, in collaboration with the Technical University of Munich (TUM), aims to address cybersecurity threats posed by quantum computing.
Key focus areas include developing quantum-resistant encryption and secure hardware. The initiative also strengthens NTU’s Flagship Partnership with TUM, expanding collaboration in fields like sustainability, health, and artificial intelligence.
