Numana\u2019s Kirq is Canada\u2019s only quantum-safe tech test bed. Kirq simulates a real-<\/p>\n<p>world environment to test quantum-secure technologies, identify vulnerabilities in existing networks and assess solutions before they are deployed at scale. The Qu\u00e9bec City test bed is hosted at Universit\u00e9 Laval\u2019s Centre for Optics, Photonics and Lasers (COPL) and the National Optics Institute (INO) in Qu\u00e9bec City, Canada\u2019s largest centre of excellence in optics and photonics.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cQuantum computing will reshape cybersecurity,\u201d said Bernard Duval, president and CEO of Numana. \u201cBanks, health systems, governments and telecom providers operate in the digital economy. For years, digital encryption has protected us well \u2013 we don\u2019t think twice about banking online. But we are in a race against time now for new encryption to be tested at Kirq and implemented before bad actors and state-sponsored hackers have quantum computing power. Kirq gives organizations a way to understand their vulnerabilities and make informed upgrade decisions before it\u2019s too late. Canada has been a leader on quantum. For our own security, it\u2019s critical that our nation lead on quantum-safe networks as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7067\" src=\"https:\/\/numana.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/NUM_0326_Kirq-Numana-20260128-134-300x195.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/numana.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/NUM_0326_Kirq-Numana-20260128-134-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/numana.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/NUM_0326_Kirq-Numana-20260128-134-1024x667.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/numana.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/NUM_0326_Kirq-Numana-20260128-134-768x500.jpg 768w, https:\/\/numana.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/NUM_0326_Kirq-Numana-20260128-134-1536x1001.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/numana.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/NUM_0326_Kirq-Numana-20260128-134-2048x1334.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While others operate around the world, Kirq is Canada\u2019s only quantum test bed.

Thanks to CED\u2019s investment in regional quantum innovation, we are helping to position Qu\u00e9bec\u2019s SMEs and organizations and to strengthen Canada\u2019s global leadership in this emerging field. The entire Canadian population, as well as our economy, will benefit from the success and spin-offs of creating test benches for the quantum communications network in Sherbrooke, Montr\u00e9al and today in Qu\u00e9bec! Congratulations to Mr. Duval and the entire Numana team on this achievement!\u201d expressed a delighted Honourable M\u00e9lanie Joly, Minister of Industry and Minister responsible for Canada Economic Development for Qu\u00e9bec Regions (CED).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Industry partners say the test bed will help translate that policy direction into real-world deployment.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Kirq test bed provides Qu\u00e9bec with a unique platform to accelerate innovation in quantum communications, and Nokia is proud to contribute to this effort.\u201d said Nokia Canada CEO Jeffrey Maddox. \u201cThrough our leading optical, IP, and critical connectivity technologies, we are helping researchers and industry partners test solutions that will prepare the transition toward reliable and sovereign quantum-ready infrastructure. Combined with Numana\u2019s presence in the region and the expertise of the COPL and INO, this initiative reinforces Qu\u00e9bec\u2019s role as a strategic hub in the quantum domain.
