Research Divisions

The QIST Foundation organizes its research into six core divisions that span quantum information science, cryptography, intelligent systems, and distributed trust architectures.

Each division has its own page with deeper detail on research questions, long-term objectives, and intersections with QIST technology programs.

Quantum Information Science (QIS)

Mathematical and theoretical foundations for quantum-era trust, entropy, verification, and distributed quantum-resilient information systems.

Secure & Autonomous Systems

Safe autonomous computation, deterministic workflows, fault-tolerant orchestration, and policy-driven operation in adversarial environments.

Distributed Trust Architecture

Decentralized identity, sovereign connectivity, verifiable telemetry, and multi-institution trust formation at global scale.

Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC)

Quantum-resistant cryptographic primitives, hybrid systems, and migration frameworks for institutional and sovereign infrastructure.

Intelligent Systems & AI Safety

Governance-aligned intelligent systems, interpretable decision pipelines, and AI safety in regulated, mission-critical settings.

Applied Cryptography & Interoperability

Applied cryptographic engineering, tokenization, secure integration flows, interoperability, and compliance-aligned workflows.
