Quantum Key Distribution Summer School 2015

The International QKD Summer School is a five-day program focused on theoretical and experimental aspects of quantum communication with a focus on quantum cryptography. The QKD Summer School aims to provide a solid foundation in relevant approaches and techniques to enable graduate students and young postdoctoral fellows to perform their own independent research.
