SUPERQ QUANTUM CEO DR. MUHAMMAD KHAN APPOINTED AS FORBES BUSINESS COUNCIL MEMBER LEADER TO DRIVE GLOBAL CYBERSECURITY STRATEGY

SuperQ Quantum Computing Inc.'s founder, chief executive officer and board chair, Dr. Muhammad Ali Khan, has been appointed as a member leader within the prestigious Forbes Business Council.

In this elevated leadership capacity, Dr. Khan will spearhead the council's initiatives in cybersecurity in the quantum AI (artificial intelligence) era, steering high-level discourse among global executives on the transition to quantum-resistant security and implementation of guard rails around autonomous AI applications.

Quantum intelligence gap

Dr. Khan's appointment follows the success of SuperQ at CES 2026, where the company debuted ChatQLM -- the world's first quantum-powered consumer application. By being appointed a group leader of the Forbes Business Council, Dr. Khan solidifies SuperQ's position at the forefront of the quantum utility era, moving the technology from experimental labs into the pockets of the masses.

"The appointment of Dr. Khan to this thought-leadership role at Forbes Business Council is a testament to his vision of democratizing complex computational power," said Manoj Joseph, chief business officer of SuperQ. "As the industry enters its ChatGPT moment for quantum, having our CEO lead the conversation on a platform as influential as Forbes ensures that SuperQ remains the primary architect of the new quantum-classical standard."

A proven legacy in deep tech

Dr. Khan brings an unparalleled pedigree to the Forbes community. A Silicon Valley entrepreneur, former researcher at the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge, and a Rhodes, Commonwealth, Vanier and Killam scholar, he has successfully bridged the gap between theoretical science and industrial application. His leadership at SuperQ has already resulted in:

• The Super platform: a patent-pending hybrid-quantum operating system that autonomously solves industrial optimization and cybersecurity problems;
• Global quantum superhubs: a growing international network of experience centres across North America, the United Arab Emirates and India;
• Sovereign infrastructure: the development of modular, on-premise quantum computers and sensors for critical government and defence applications.

Thought leadership for the postquantum era

As a member leader, Dr. Khan will contribute expert insights to Forbes.com, focusing on the sovereign-by-design philosophy -- helping enterprises secure critical data against emerging quantum threats while leveraging AI autopilots for immediate ROI (return on investment).

"Quantum computing is no longer a future concept; it is a present-day asset class," stated Dr. Khan. "I am honoured to lead the cybersecurity group within the Forbes Business Council to help global leaders navigate the shift from predictive AI to prescriptive quantum optimization. Our goal is to ensure that businesses aren't just surviving the quantum transition but are actively profiting from it."
