See Quside and Coherent at Photonics West 2026 showcasing high-volume quantum entropy built on VCSEL photonics, designed for secure systems at scale.
High-Volume Quantum EntropyBuilt on industrial photonics. Verified in real time.
At Photonics West 2026, Quside and Coherent are presenting a live demonstration of a new security building block, quantum entropy generated inside photonic devices already manufactured at global scale.
This collaboration shows how quantum security can move from research labs into real products, using the same VCSEL technology trusted today across data centers, sensing, and communications.
Presented at Coherent’s booth: Quantum entropy technology by Quside, enabled by Coherent’s high-volume photonic manufacturing.

Why This Matters, in Plain TermsDigital security starts earlier than most people think.
Security does not start with algorithms.
It starts with randomness.
Encryption, identities, and secure communications all depend on unpredictable random numbers. If randomness is weak or unverified, security fails silently.
As systems scale and quantum threats emerge, randomness quality becomes a trust issue, not an implementation detail.

From Photonics to Digital TrustA new role for photonics in security
Photonics already powers the digital world, from high-speed communications to advanced sensing. What this demonstration shows is something new. Photonic components can also become foundational security elements, generating the unpredictable signals that modern cryptography depends on. By combining:
- Quside’s quantum entropy and verification technology
- Coherent’s industrial, high-volume VCSEL platforms
We demonstrate how quantum-grade randomness can be embedded directly into photonic hardware, in a form factor designed for real products, not niche deployments.

What You Will See at the BoothA live, tangible demonstration
This is not a slideware announcement. At Photonics West, visitors can see:
- A working photonic device generating quantum-based randomness
- Live monitoring of randomness quality during operation
- A clear view of how this technology fits into existing manufacturing and integration flows
The focus is not on abstract quantum concepts, but on how this can be built, deployed, and trusted at scale.

Why Quside and Coherent TogetherBridging deep tech and real-world scale
Many quantum technologies struggle to move beyond the lab. This collaboration exists to solve that problem.
- Quside brings more than a decade of work in quantum randomness, entropy verification, and security compliance.
- Coherent brings one of the world’s most advanced photonic manufacturing platforms, already proven across massive production volumes.
Together, the result is a path toward quantum security components that can actually be deployed, across industries that demand both trust and scale.

Who This Is ForYou do not need to be a cryptography expert to care about this. This matters to:
- Product leaders designing next-generation hardware
- Photonics engineers exploring new value layers
- Security and infrastructure teams preparing for post-quantum systems
- OEMs looking to integrate security without adding complexity
- Anyone responsible for building systems that must be trusted for years
If your products depend on secure communication, identity, or data protection, randomness quality is part of your supply chain, whether you manage it today or not.

Looking AheadFrom demonstration to deployment
This Photonics West demo marks an important step. It shows that:
- Quantum entropy can be generated inside standard photonic components
- That entropy can be verified while the system is running
- And that this can be done using manufacturing platforms already operating at scale
Deeper technical details, performance metrics, and integration paths are available for teams who want to explore further.
