The first part of this series covers what a lattice is, what a basis for a given lattice is, what it means for that basis to be “reduced”, and the LLL algorithm, which gives us a powerful tool to take an arbitrary lattice basis and try to make it as small as possible, which turns out to be useful for mysterious reasons.
This is the last in the Quantum Cryptography series of posts. This post covers the limitations of current methods and contemplates possible avenues of evolution for the technology.
This is the third in the Quantum Cryptography series of posts. This post covers some of the experiments undertaken in the field already.
This is the second in the Quantum Cryptography series of posts. This post covers some of the theoretical underpinnings of QC, including some of the earliest protocols and a metric for the error rate of a quantum channel.
This is the first in a series of blog posts that make up my final report for the Fall 2015 session of the Quantum Information and Quantum Computing course offered at Georgia Tech. It is presented here as an reference for theoretical Quantum Cryptography, as well as an increasingly out of date survey of experimental methods in the field. This post introduces the idea of Quantum Cryptography, and provides a brief overview of traditional cryptography.
