PQ-NEXT aims to develop a migration framework to analyse and model scenarios for a smooth transition to post-quantum cryptographic (PQC) standards with tailored migration plans. The PQ-NEXT catalogue includes PQC and hybrid algorithms, maintenance tools, and a quantum programming language featuring high-performance simulation and hybrid quantum-classical optimisation, ensuring crypto-agility and security against quantum threats.

PQ-NEXT’s solutions will be validated through large-scale pilots in finance, critical infrastructure, telecommunications, and digital identities, through the selected use of digital twinning.
