RT4 YM Roundtable – Quantum and New Technologies
- Enrique Sanchez-Bautista (European Physical Society)
In this talk I will provide an overview of the current quantum ecosystem and its funding landscape. I will then follow with career opportunities, including my career path and the role of QURECA, to finish with some advice on how to improve your CV and prepare yourself for a career in quantum.
In this talk, I will discuss how Quantum Physics give us a new type of information, and how it can be exploited to develop new and revolutionary paradigms for computation, communications, and sensing. Furthermore, I will discuss the state of the art of this novel domain, and the challenges and opportunities lying ahead.
We will discuss an introduction to the concept of quantum information and its application to quantum cryptography. I will go through an educational approach based on a laboratory demonstration of the BB84 quantum cryptography protocol. Quantum cryptography is based on quantum key distribution through a quantum channel. In the BB84 protocol the quantum state of the polarization of the photons...
