The Coming Wave: New Applications of Quantum Cryptography -- Nicola Greco (DeepQuantum)

QIA & Quantum Punks: New Applications for the Quantum Internet https://lu.ma/o4bk9pnh . Thanks to Project 11 https://www.projecteleven.com/ for sponsoring the recording of the event! Talk Description: Quantum cryptography has in QKD a real-world application currently deployed in many live systems. We believe there is much more around the corner, and that a new crop of real-world applications of quantum networks will soon see the light of day, and create value much earlier than quantum computers. We present the acceleration thesis, and what’s missing to get there in this introductory talk. We aim with it to frame the rest of the workshop. ​Speaker bio: Nicola is building deepquantum.xyz and a co-author of the quantumpunks.org manifesto. He was previously the lead of CryptoNet at Protocol Labs, an r&d lab focused on real-world applications of cryptography in distributed systems.
