A half-day open house showcasing the latest developments in topological quantum materials, superconducting quantum circuits, quantum sources and detectors.
This two-day workshop is an opportunity for the people working in the field to discuss and compare different approaches, our ability to reduce assumptions and together attempt to define a coherent view on security proofs, claims and assumptions in practical QKD.

A nonlocal game with a synchronous correlation is the ideal protocol for quantum key distribution. In this work we examine analogues of Bell's inequalities for synchronous correlations. We show that unlike in the nonsynchronous case (e.g. with the CHSH inequality) there can be no quantum Bell violation among synchronous correlations with two measurement settings. However we exhibit explicit analogues of Bell's inequalities for synchronous correlation with three measurement settings and two outputs that do admit quantum violations.
Surface Acoustic Waves in Quantum Systems
Mats Powlowski
Surface acoustic waves (SAWs) are acoustic phonons that travel along the surface of a material and have been used for a wide variety of purposes, from RF filters to acoustic cavities to biosensors.

Quantum secret sharing (QSS) mainly deals with the splitting and distributing of an arbitrary secret among n sharers using quantum resources. While quantum secret sharing schemes often use shared entangled states, it is also possible to define a notion of quantum secret sharing without the use of entangled states.

Big Ideas for Little Minds
Chris Ferrie will take you through a historical journey of his own coming of age with digital software and what that experience has granted him. The lesson to be learned is that children will take advantage of the opportunities they are given, but only if their parents and teachers show genuine interest in the activities giving rise to those opportunities. 20 years from now, there will be a Quantum Technology equivalent of Bill Gates. That future leader is only a young child today.
