Experimental hybrid quantum platform funded by CFI

The quantum revolution is poised to move out of the laboratory and into the marketplace. Technologies that exploit the laws of quantum mechanics will outperform their classical counterparts providing advantages we are only beginning to capitalize on. These technologies will be one step closer with the development of a new method for linking small quantum processors.

Chip Elliott: Quantum Frontiers Distinguished Lecture Series: Can we speak – privately? Quantum cryptography in a broader context

It’s often useful to have a private conversation within a public world. What role can quantum cryptography play in keeping conversations private? Sometimes described as providing “unconditional security guaranteed by the laws of quantum physics,” its security implications are both tantalizing and surprisingly elusive. This talk introduces quantum cryptography and describes the speaker’s experience creating several types of quantum cryptography equipment, within the broader context of mainstream cryptography and secure communications.
