Quantum Communication: How Physics Can Secure Information
Speaker: Dr. Josephine Dias
Affiliation: University of Queensland
Abstract
Quantum communication uses the laws of quantum mechanics to send information in ways that are fundamentally more secure than classical methods. In this talk, we’ll explore how photons and entanglement enable tasks like quantum key distribution, and why loss and noise are central challenges.
