Trieste Quantum Seminar - Vladyslav Usenko (Sep 2, at 11:00 - CNR-INO Area Science Park)

[Infopoint]

Dear all,

Coinciding with the /International Year of Quantum Science and 
Technology/, we are glad to announce a new seminar organized in 
collaboration with the National Institute of Optics (CNR-INO), 
highlighting recent scientific advances in the quantum field.

The speaker will be *Dr. Vladyslav C. Usenko* from the Department of 
Optics, *Palacky University Olomouc*, Czech Republic. The seminar will 
be held on Tuesday, *September 2*, at *11:00*, in *Sala Sancrotti,* at 
Edificio Q2 (CNR-INO), *Area Science Park*, Strada Statale 14 km 163.5, 
Basovizza. In the following, you can find the title and abstract of this 
seminar:
*Title:  Nonclassicality in Quantum Key Distribution Links and Networks *
*
*
*Abstract:* Quantum key distribution is well known to be an essentially 
quantum task which is not possible by purely classical means. After 
being suggested on the basis of strongly nonclassical single photon 
states and direct photodetection in the discrete variable approach, it 
was later extended to continuous variables, using Gaussian states and 
coherent detection, well known in classical optical communication We 
will therefore discuss the role of nonclassicality and non Gaussianity 
in quantum key distribution with discrete and continuous variables, 
reveal the role of nonclassical resources in security and robustness of 
the protocols, and consider their extension to multiple users.

See you there!
