The Inventor of Quantum Cryptography: A 2002 Lecture by Gilles Brassard

Learn about the revolutionary field of quantum cryptography from one of its inventors. This archival lecture from August, 2002, is a foundational introduction to the topic. The video features Professor Gilles Brassard, co-inventor of the famous BB84 protocol (the first quantum cryptography protocol), presenting on "Quantum Cryptography". The lecture explores how the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics can be used to create perfectly secure communication channels, a feat impossible with classical methods. This is an essential resource for students in computer science, physics, and cybersecurity. From the "2000s Frontline" archive, we are proud to present this lecture from a pioneer of the quantum information age. #QuantumCryptography #Cybersecurity #Lecture
