Reading Group on Quantum Cryptography (Spring 2019)

 

The Spring 2020 homepage for the quantum cryptography reading group is available here.

 

The goal of this group is to survey and study some of the best known theoretical results in quantum cryptography.  Related discussions of classical cryptography and experimental quantum cryptography are also welcome.

 

Meeting time: Wednesdays, 2:15-3:15pm.

Meeting location: Atlantic 3100A.
