Nitin Jain: Continuous Variable QKD

#interview #quantum #key #distribution

Nitin is a researcher at DTU with a PhD from the Max Planck institute for the science of light. Nitin has extensive experience with Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and recently published a paper on "Practical continuous-variable quantum key distribution with composable security" in Nature Communications. This paper is the subject of our discussion.

SHOW NOTES:
Please note a slight correction at 21:10. The statement "explore quantum cryptography in the context of ..." was intended as "explore composability in the context of ...".
