Co-hosts: UNSW Barker Street Ventures, The Pillars
Event Details
Cybersecurity has traditionally relied on mathematical assumptions, cryptographic keys, and trust in hardware. As critical infrastructure becomes increasingly distributed across satellites, drones, autonomous systems, and remote sensing networks, the challenge of proving that these devices have not been compromised is becoming more urgent.
Quantum Lock is taking a different approach. Emerging from research at UNSW, the company is developing technology that leverages quantum entanglement to provide physics-based proof of the integrity of remote devices. By combining advances in quantum communications with cybersecurity, Quantum Lock is creating a new category of security technology with applications across defence, aerospace, critical infrastructure, and beyond.
In this TechTalk, Dr Jesse Laeuchli, Founder & CTO of Quantum Lock, will unpack:
How a career spanning research, intelligence and academia led to the creation of Quantum Lock
The cybersecurity challenges that inspired a fundamentally new approach to digital trust
How a research discovery at UNSW became the foundation of Quantum Lock
What it takes to commercialise breakthrough quantum research
Why quantum technologies may reshape how we think about trust, security and critical infrastructure in the decades ahead
This session is designed for anyone interested in the future of quantum technologies and their applications in cybersecurity, communications and critical infrastructure.
Agenda:
5:00PM Doors open
5:20PM Fireside Chat with Dr Jesse Laeuchli
Networking to follow
About
Dr Jesse Laeuchli
Dr Jesse Laeuchli is the Founder and CTO of Quantum Lock, a UNSW spinout applying quantum mechanics to cybersecurity. He completed his PhD at the College of William and Mary, working on Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics simulations, before serving within both the NSA and CIA. Following his move to Australia and appointment as a Senior Lecturer at UNSW, he developed the inventions that form the foundation of Quantum Lock's technology.
