Real-World Quantum Cryptography in Calgary
Speaker:
Barry Sanders, University of Calgary
Date and Time:
Wednesday, October 4, 2006 - 10:20am to 11:10am
Location:
Fields Institute, Room 230
Abstract:
A partnership between the University of Calgary (led by Wolfgang Tittel), the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology, and General Dynamics Canada, with support from NSERC and iCORE, is working to develop fast, secure quantum key distribution between points in Calgary. I will discuss practical obstacles and our plans to circumvent these problems by employing integrated electronics, fast detectors, and point-to-point protocols.
