Security of Quantum Key Distribution 1: An Invitation

This is the first part of a series of videos about the concepts of quantum key distribution with special emphasis on the security of such protocols. It is aimed at students who are already familiar with quantum mechanics but haven't encountered quantum information theory yet.

This lecture has resulted in the textbook "Quantum Key Distribution - An Introduction with Exercises", which has been published by Springer in the series "Lecture Notes in Physics". You can find it here: https://www.springer.com/book/9783030739904
