Quantum Cyber N.V. (QUCY) presented its antenna technology at a Connecticut event dedicated to quantum sensing and its commercial applications, outlining prospective uses in navigation, communications, and energy harvesting. The company introduced the research during QuantumCT's Phase 3 gathering in New Haven. Meanwhile, shares of QUCY fell 13.85% to $0.8701, losing $0.1399 as selling pressure carried the stock toward its session lows. The decline came despite the company's public presentation at the event.

Presentation Delivered at QuantumCT Phase 3 Convening

Quantum Cyber took part in the QuantumCT Phase 3 Pilot Collaboration RFP Convening on October 16, 2026, an event held in New Haven, Connecticut, that brought together academic researchers and technology companies to how quantum sensing systems might be advanced through joint research and industry partnerships.

Nadab Akhtar and William Skidd delivered the company's presentation during the industry discussion session. Skidd, who serves as Chief of Staff at Project LightShift, joined Akhtar in explaining the antenna research. Their presentation highlighted possible commercial applications and technical development priorities within the emerging quantum sensing sector, placing the work before an audience of academic and industry participants active in the field.

QuantumCT organized the gathering to launch its Phase 3 request-for-proposals process, connecting researchers with industry specialists to address technical challenges and identify possible development projects. Speakers also examined how quantum sensing technologies could support practical applications across different industries.

Magnetic Navigation Named as First Roadmap Milestone

Quantum Cyber identified magnetic navigation, known as MagNav, as the first milestone in its proposed commercial development roadmap. The technology is intended to support positioning and navigation when conventional satellite systems become unavailable or unreliable. Satellite navigation signals can be jammed, spoofed, or degraded in contested or obstructed environments, a limitation that satellite-independent positioning methods such as MagNav are designed to address. Capabilities of this kind could serve defense operations and other environments where access to satellite navigation is limited.

The company also pointed to longer-term research opportunities involving quantum communications and energy harvesting. These applications could extend the potential uses of its antenna research beyond navigation systems, though further engineering, testing, and validation are required before any practical capabilities can be established. Those requirements mean the roadmap's progression will be measured in engineering and validation outcomes rather than event appearances.

The presentation connected the antenna work with broader developments in quantum sensing, a field in which quantum-based technologies rely on physical properties to measure environmental conditions and support specialized detection systems. This phase of QuantumCT's program is dedicated specifically to sensing and its commercial applications, making the field the near-term focus of the partnership's collaborative pipeline. Quantum Cyber plans to explore potential applications as researchers continue developing the underlying technology.

QuantumCT Phase 3 Program Built Around Research Collaboration

QuantumCT operates as a public-private partnership involving Yale University, the University of Connecticut, and Connecticut's state government. The initiative supports quantum technology research, commercialization, and adoption through cooperation between academic institutions and businesses, and its Phase 3 process encourages proposals that address specific technical challenges and potential commercial applications.

At the gathering, previously awarded project teams presented their work alongside invited academic and industry speakers. Participants reviewed proposal requirements, evaluation criteria, and timelines for the new funding process, while breakout discussions and networking sessions created further opportunities for technical exchanges and possible partnerships.

Quantum Cyber's existing operations in Connecticut give the company an established connection to the state's technology sector. Its participation in the convening, however, served as an opportunity to present research rather than to secure a formal project agreement. QuantumCT did not award the company funding, approve procurement, or establish a funded research collaboration through the presentation, leaving the company with no research award, funding deal, or procurement contract from the event. With the Phase 3 request-for-proposals process now underway and its requirements, evaluation criteria, and timelines laid out at the convening, any formal role for the company in the program would need to come through a proposal in that process, which the presentation itself did not constitute.
