Quantum Information and Cryptography (24h, 3ECTS)LecturersLectures take place Tuesdays 12:45 to 15:45. Tentative Schedule:
(Additional reference: Chapters 8-10 in Ronald de Wolf's lecture notes, available here: https://homepages.cwi.nl/~rdewolf/qcnotes.pdf)
OrganizationSchedule: Tuesday 12h45 starting Dec. 14 Location: Sophie Germain building (check the MPRI schedule). Evaluation: Final exam. Prerequisites2.34.1 Quantum computing or another course on quantum computing. Presentation and objectivesQuantum algorithms have made tremendous progress in the past few decades, and classical cryptographic protocols have become more vulnerable to attacks carried out using quantum means. Even though a general purpose quantum computer is not yet at hand, it has become crucial to ensure privacy in a scenario where even special-purpose devices become available. This course will cover basics of quantum cryptography, quantum information and advanced quantum algorithms. Lecture notesLectures 1-4: lecture notes will be made available. Extra resource: lecture notes by Ronald de Wolf (chapters 8-10), available here. Exercise session (Jan 18)The lecture on January 18th will be an exercise session.
