Interesting how when you hear the word "quantum" you immediately think of quantum computers, an area of focus in this field that is largely off the radar is quantum communications, which is a relatively new term for me and is just yet another potential growth driver for LWLG!

The future is hybrid

Though quantum computers often make the headlines, their technological maturity is still quite insignificant. Basic functions such as error correction, data storage, or logic gates remain in an experimental stage at best.

Quantum communication technologies are farther along the technology readiness scale. There, developers can build on proven telecom components and technologies, and there is demand from customers to accelerate toward so-called quantum-safe encryption technologies.

This underscores the trend toward hybridization in quantum communication: Different technologies will complement each other to deliver maximum security. In quantum computing, hybridization could lead to systems that combine conventional CPUs with quantum processors. Each would do what it does best and compensate for any weaknesses in the other.

A couple of companies mentioned:
Coherent (COHR) :NYSE valued at $4.7B based in P.A. and Hamamatsu (HPHTF) :OTCPK valued at $6.4B, based in Japan.
