Lumen's announcement combines a university research project on sending quantum states over deployed fiber, which is still early-stage and will establish empirical channel limits, with a commercial product that adds NIST-standardized post-quantum cryptography (ML-KEM and ML-DSA) to its managed SASE service. The fiber work addresses real physical limits, since the no-cloning theorem rules out standard amplifiers, but the timelines are long and the results are unproven. The PQC rollout is the nearer-term item, with a customer preview in November 2026 and general availability planned for January 2027, so it is the piece worth tracking for enterprise migration planning.

Lumen Expands Quantum Footprint with Ohio State Fiber Research and Fortinet PQC SASE Rollout

Quantum Computing ReportOctober 31, 20262 min read

Lumen Technologies is advancing quantum technology with two new initiatives. They are partnering with The Ohio State University to research quantum network transport over commercial optical fiber, and integrating Fortinet's post-quantum cryptography into their SASE solution to enhance enterprise security. These efforts aim to overcome challenges in quantum signal transmission and protect against future decryption threats.
