Abstract

I will cover the basics in terms of the control objectives and algorithms, details about the implementation, and recent results about the convergence behaviour, control landscape, and field characteristics and similarities and differences we see in Markovian vs Non-Markovian systems.

Cristopher Moore: The McEliece cryptosystem resists quantum Fourier sampling attacks

Cristopher Moore, University of New Mexico

Abstract

Since Shor's algorithm breaks RSA cryptography, it makes sense to look for post-quantum cryptosystems: cryptosystems that can be carried out with classical computers today, but which will remain secure even if and when quantum computers are built.
