The Quantum Physics of Harry Potter

Post for The Quantum Physics of Harry Potter From invisibility cloaks to teleportation, Harry Potter’s world is filled with mystery and wonder. Yet this magical world is not so different from the world we inhabit. Just beneath the surface of our ordinary lives is a strange quantum reality.

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.
