Workshop

Quantum Cryptography and Quantum Networks

From Mathematical Foundations to Quantum Technologies

May 13–14, 2024

Organizers

Anna Pappa (TUB)
Nathan Walk (FUB)

This workshop is part of the Thematic Einstein Semester “Mathematics for Quantum Technologies” (Summer 2024) funded by the Cluster of Excellence MATH+ and the Einstein Foundation Berlin. A central objective of the workshop is to promote an exchange between mathematicians, physicists and engineers across disciplines on the subjects of communication and cryptography over quantum networks.

Topics

Topics of the workshop include (but are not limited to):

• Quantum key distribution
• Security Proofs
• Multi-party cryptography
• Quantum networking/routing,
• Quantum Repeaters,
• Secure delegated quantum computation
• Device-independence & non locality
• Beyond QKD (Bit commitment, coin-flipping, etc)
