Quantum encryption performed across a city for first time

Lynsay Callaghan over 6 years ago

Researchers at the University of Ottawa have successfully sent a quantum-encrypted message containing more than 1 bit of information per photon across a city, in a major step towards making quantum encryption a practical possibility.

Lynsay,

This is a fascinating piece of news, but I am a bit puzzled about it appearing on our LN blog, unless you thought it was apposite since it was the U of O that did the work.

Clearly the rest of the committee need to follow up on this - I have been asking for a talk on quantum encryption to follow on from the BlockChain event!

Many thanks for pointing it out to us.

Frank.

Folks,

An interesting piece. I am sure that we will bring this up at our committee meeting on Monday evening.
