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.

This workshop will bring together researchers and students coming from diversified scientific areas, whose connections start to emerge. We expect that the variety of expertise and technicalities brought by each community will be beneficial to approach problems of common interest, and it will stimulate new questions of relevance for a large scientific community.

Public lecture

The quantum laws governing atoms and other tiny objects seem to defy common sense, and information encoded in quantum systems has weird properties that baffle our feeble human minds.
