DESCRIPTION:Marc Ph. Stoecklin\n\n"Quantum Readiness at Global Scale: Secu
 ring Billions of Systems for the Quantum Era"\nMarc Ph. Stoecklin (SC'07\
 , PhD SC'11)\, Head of Security Research\, IBM Research Europe - Zurich\, 
 Alumni Award 2024\n\nMonday\, November 3\, 2025 at 18:00\nForum Rolex\nIn 
 English\n\nThe advent of future quantum computers poses a significant chal
 lenge to cyber security\, as powerful quantum computers could break curren
 t cryptographic systems protecting data and trust in our digital infrastru
 cture and society. This looming threat has catalyzed the development of po
 st-quantum cryptography over the last decade\, with quantum-safe cryptogra
 phic algorithms recently standardized. However\, migrating the world's dig
 ital systems to quantum safe cryptography represents an unprecedented tech
 nical and logistical challenge\, requiring coordination across governments
 \, industries\, and legacy systems built over decades. In his talk\, Dr. M
 arc Stoecklin will examine both the challenges introduced by quantum compu
 ting as well as the scientific and practical obstacles faced by a global t
 ransition to quantum safe cryptography in time to protect our digital worl
 d.\n\nBiography\nMarc Ph. Stoecklin is a Principal Research Scientist at I
 BM Research Europe and holds the position of Head of Security Research sin
 ce 2019. His career at IBM Research began with an internship he completed 
 as part of his master’s thesis in 2006. He has contributed to several cy
 bersecurity projects\, including key IBM technologies based on artificial 
 intelligence to detect and combat cyber threats. He currently leads the 
 “Quantum Safe Cryptography” strategy at IBM Research\, allowing him to
  work on numerous significant advancements to secure the digital world glo
 bally for the quantum era.\n\nProgramme\n17:30 Doors open\n18:00 Welcome
