Quantum Computing and National Security Forum
Quantum Computing and National Security Forum
On behalf of the Romanian-American Chamber of Commerce for Information Technology (RACC-IT), we are pleased to invite you to the inaugural Quantum Computing and National Security Strategic Forum, taking place in Washington, D.C., on February 18, 2027.
The forum is hosted by DHT Solutions USA LLC and the Romanian American Chamber of Commerce–IT Alliance (RACC-IT) in conjunction with Aurelion Geopolitical.
Quantum computing has shifted from a distant prospect to a near-term national security imperative. It harnesses subatomic particles to perform complex calculations that classical computers cannot, with implications across cryptography, sensing, and communications. Of these, the cryptographic dimension is where the operational stakes are most immediate. In response, the United States and its allies are mounting a dual effort: building quantum capability of their own while protecting the encryption, communications, and infrastructure it will eventually be able to break. Recent federal guidance and the first published post-quantum cryptography standards have made quantum readiness an operational priority for governments, defense organizations, and the firms that supply them.
This event convenes leaders from the U.S. government, allied organizations, and the private sector to consider what quantum computing means for U.S. national security. Discussion will explore the post-quantum cryptography transition, the implications for defense and critical infrastructure, and the role of U.S. and allied firms in building and securing the technologies of the next decade.
Key areas of discussion will include:
Quantum Computing and National Security: Strategic implications of emerging quantum capabilities for the United States and its allies.
Post-Quantum Cryptography: The transition toward quantum-resistant encryption standards and the protection of sensitive information, communications, and digital infrastructure.
Defense and Critical Infrastructure: Opportunities, vulnerabilities, and emerging requirements for securing essential systems against future quantum-enabled threats.
Technology, Innovation, and Investment: The role of U.S. and allied companies in developing, deploying, and securing the technologies that will shape the next decade.
U.S.–Romania Strategic Cooperation: Opportunities to strengthen transatlantic technology partnerships and leverage expertise, innovation, and capabilities across both markets.
