Programme
Quantum technologies are reshaping the foundations of secure communication.
While quantum computers pose a significant threat to existing classical cryptographic systems and critical infrastructures, they also pave the way for fundamentally new approaches to security.
As a result, two complementary security paradigms have emerged: quantum cryptography, which derives information-theoretic security from the laws of quantum physics, and post-quantum cryptography, which develops classical algorithms designed to remain secure and resistant against quantum adversaries.
Topics of Lecture
- Introduction to quantum information. From classical bits to qubits: superposition, measurement, and the quantum advantage in communication
- Quantum correlations and entanglement as a resource for secure communication protocols
- Quantum Cryptography: principles and security analysis
- Quantum computation threats to cybersecurity
- Implementations of quantum communication: Challenges and Current Status
The cost of participation in the school is 100.00 EUR. The cost includes participation in the summer school, materials, participation in the official social programme, scheduled meals and a coffee breaks.
The cost of stay, insurance and travel is covered by the Participant on their own. The organisers have no means to provide any financial support for the Participants.
The organizers will allow participants to rent a single room in the student house of the University of Gdansk for the duration of the school at a reduced price.
