SUMMARY:Crypto Reading Group on quantum computing | Aodhan Corrigan\, How t
 o\nrealize a QKD protocol? Imperfections and considerations in security\np
 roofs.
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:SPEAKER:\n\nAodhan Corrigan\n\nAFFILIATION:\n University of Wat
 erloo\n\nROOM:\n MC 5501\n\nABSTRACT: Quantum key distribution (QKD) prot
 ocols rely on the laws\nof physics for provably secure secret sharing\, bu
 t the laws of physics\nare notoriously tricky to harness. If the laser bei
 ng used for\nencoding is fluctuating in time\, how does this affect the se
 curity\nguarantees? In this talk\, I will cover the kinds of problems that
  can\narise in physical realizations of QKD protocols and the problems tha
 t\nthese might cause. After this\, I will give a (far from exhaustive)\nov
 erview of techniques that come up in dealing with such imperfections\nin t
 he implementation. This will be open-ended\, in the sense that\nquestions 
 that arise/different interests during the talk can dictate\nwhat we cover.
