# Navy Hosts Quantum Readiness Conference

The Department of the Navy is scheduled to convene “Demystifying Quantum: Mandates, Capabilities, and Warfighter Readiness” on November 17, 2026—three days from the current date—with Navy information-warfare leaders and industry representatives. The agenda covers quantum computing, sensing, networking, cybersecurity, and modernization, featuring speakers from IonQ, Dell Federal National Security Group, and IBM Quantum. No solicitation, contract award, venue, or attendance format is identified, so the event is a source of market insight rather than a stated bid opportunity.

- Contractors can use the discussion to understand Navy information-warfare priorities and how quantum capabilities may relate to warfighter readiness and modernization.
- The listed industry speakers and Navy officials offer context on government and supplier perspectives, but their participation does not establish a procurement relationship or indicate an upcoming award.
- Companies should distinguish the conference’s networking and market-intelligence value from a formal procurement opportunity; the agenda provides no solicitation or contract details.
