AMO Seminar-Nino Walenta, Battelle- Friday, May 1- Flyer attached.

[Finnell, Genevra L. (Jenny)]

Dear Physics Faculty, Staff and Students,

Nino Walenta, Battelle-Columbus will be the AMO Seminar Speaker this Friday, May 1 at 2:00 PM in 4138PRB. His host is Lou DiMauro.  His presentation will be "Towards a North American Quantum Network: QKD networks in Columbus and around the world."  Abstract is included in the attached flyer and below. His web site is http://home.arcor.de/walenta/vita_en.html

Title:
Towards a North American Quantum Network: QKD networks in Columbus and around the world

Abstract:
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD or "quantum cryptography") uses single photons to offer a solution to the imminent problem of protecting data against security threats. It is based on fundamental laws of quantum physics and its inherent true randomness, and enables information-theoretically provable forward security, which is resilient against future advancements in computational attacks and even quantum computation. Since its first advent as a promising theoretical concept 30 years ago, a wide variety of different QKD protocols has emerged and been demonstrated in real-world communication networks. In this presentation, I will review this technology and give an overview over the latest developments. In particular, I will focus on the most recent QKD network in Columbus, and other networks as they are currently being installed all over the world.

Thanks
Jenny
