Course Details
• Quantum Mechanics Review – A brief overview of the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics, including superposition, entanglement, and wave-particle duality. This unit will serve as a refresher for those already familiar with quantum mechanics and an introduction for those new to the subject. • Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) Protocols – An in-depth exploration of popular QKD protocols such as BB84, E91, and B92. This unit will cover the strengths and weaknesses of each protocol, as well as their practical implementations. • Quantum Cryptography Algorithms – An analysis of various quantum cryptography algorithms, including quantum one-time pad and quantum digital signatures. This unit will delve into the mathematical principles underlying these algorithms and their security guarantees. • Quantum Cryptanalysis – A study of the techniques used to attack quantum cryptographic systems. Participants will learn about quantum algorithms such as Shor's and Grover's, as well as their implications for cryptography. • Quantum Random Number Generation (QRNG) – An examination of QRNG methods and their applications in quantum cryptography. This unit will cover the principles of generating randomness from quantum processes, as well as the advantages and limitations of QRNG. • Quantum Entanglement & Cryptography – A detailed exploration of the relationship between quantum entanglement and cryptography. Topics will include entanglement-based QKD, device-independent QKD, and measurement-device-independent QKD. • Quantum Key Expansion – An in-depth examination of quantum key expansion protocols, including those based on the Bennett-Brassard 1984 (BB84) protocol. This unit will cover the principles of expanding a short secret key into a longer one, as well as the practical aspects of implementing such protocols. • Quantum Cryptography Implementations & Challenges – An analysis of real-world implementations of quantum cryptography systems, including their challenges and limitations. Topics will include noise, loss, and imperfect detectors, as well as potential solutions and countermeasures. • Quant
