Quantum Key Distribution: from qubits to qudits
STCS Student Seminar
Speaker:
Vikas Bhat (Dept. of Nuclear & Atomic Physics, TIFR)
Organiser:
Shanthanu Suresh Rai
Date:
Friday, 12 Sep 2025, 16:00 to 17:00
Venue:
A-201 (STCS Seminar Room)

Abstract:
Quantum Key Distribution solves the major bottleneck of symmetric key cryptography, the key distribution. As the name suggests, it uses laws of quantum mechanics to its advantage. I will discuss the mathematics behind the simple qubit (quantum bit) version and extend it to qudits (quantum d-bits). I will briefly touch upon how we realise such a system in our lab.
