Palm Beach State College (PBSC) and Florida Atlantic University (FAU) have activated Florida’s first operational quantum-safe network link, connecting their campuses using IonQ’s quantum key distribution (QKD) hardware. This initiative, supported by a $1 million defense infrastructure grant, is part of a larger plan to create a quantum-safe corridor across South Florida and develop a skilled workforce through PBSC's new Quantum Innovation Center and academic programs.
