Quantum eavesdropping strategies

Hi everyone,

The last talk of the year will be given by Kieran Flatt from the Quantum Theory group, on quantum eavesdropping strategies.

Abstract:
Quantum key distribution is a method for sharing cryptographic keys and which uses the active nature of quantum measurements to flag eavesdropping to the legitimate users. I'll present two schemes, the well-known BB84 and lesser explored PCB00, and explain what the best eavesdropping strategies are in each case.

The talk will be on Thursday 6th December at the usual time of 4pm in 257.

Join us afterwards in the common room for some mulled wine and suitably festive treats!
