A Presentation of the Prerequisite Topics and a Module for a Quantum Encryption (QE) Topic in an IS Course

Ronald I. Frank

Published Jan 1, 2004• 0 citations

Abstract

I present a variant of the quantum encryption (QE) algorithm and an elementary outline of the quantum mechanics (QM) axioms and math results that make it work.There are two points in the algorithm where QM plays a role.One is a quote of a deep theorem that makes acceptable sense in light of the outline of axioms.The second is only an application of vector representations in a basis.Another topic appears throughout: discrete probability.Using this insight, I present an outline of a prerequisite topic review module for an IS course introducing QE.Available by email from me are a Java console application interactive QE Simulator, and extensive slide sets on background material at various levels of difficulty.This discussion assumes some familiarity with the very basics of cryptography (one-time-pads, sending in the clear, symmetric keys etc.).

Quantum Probabilities

Charis Anastopoulos

The ideal text for a two-semester graduate course on quantum mechanics. Fresh, comprehensive, and clear, it strikes the optimal balance between covering traditional material and exploring contemporary topics. Focusing on the probabilistic structure of quantum mechanics and the central role of symmetries to unify principles, this textbook guides readers through the logical development of the theory. Students will also learn about the more exciting and controversial aspects of quantum theory, with discussions on past interpretations and the current debates on cutting-edge concepts such as quantum information and entanglement, open quantum systems, and quantum measurement theory. The book has two types of content: Type A material is more elementary and is fully self-contained, functioning like a separate book within the book, while Type B content is at the level of a graduate course. Requiring minimal physics background, this textbook is appropriate for mathematics and engineering students, in addition to physicists. Introducing cutting-edge topics in the field, the book features about 150 concept-checking questions, 300 homework problems and a solutions manual.

The General Principles of Quantum Key Integration into Data Network Part 1

Anton Pavlovich Pljonkin, Alexander A. Gorbunov

In this paper, we have considered the examples of classical cryptography. Here we describe ciphers and classical encryption and decryption algorithms. We specify the basic methods and evolution vectors for cryptography and cryptanalysis. We also outline the basic principles of quantum cryptography. You may see how quantum key distribution system works as well as the main types of attacks on quantum communication systems. We have described the quantum key distribution system interaction with hardware encrypter. During this research, we have conducted a review of the requirements for the stability of the developed quantum key integration algorithm.

Further Topics around Encryption

Thomas Vidick, Stephanie Wehner

This book offers an accessible and engaging introduction to quantum cryptography, assuming no prior knowledge in quantum computing. Essential background theory and mathematical techniques are introduced and applied in the analysis and design of quantum cryptographic protocols. The title explores several important applications such as quantum key distribution, quantum money, and delegated quantum computation, while also serving as a self-contained introduction to the field of quantum computing. With frequent illustrations and simple examples relevant to quantum cryptography, this title focuses on building intuition and challenges readers to understand the basis of cryptographic security. Frequent worked examples and mid-chapter exercises allow readers to extend their understanding, and in-text quizzes, end-of-chapter homework problems, and recommended further reading reinforce and broaden understanding. Online resources available to instructors include interactive computational problems in Julia, videos, lecture slides, and a fully worked solutions manual.

Quantum Information, Computation and Communication

Jonathan A. Jones, Dieter Jaksch

Quantum physics allows entirely new forms of computation and cryptography, which could perform tasks currently impossible on classical devices, leading to an explosion of new algorithms, communications protocols and suggestions for physical implementations of all these ideas. As a result, quantum information has made the transition from an exotic research topic to part of mainstream undergraduate courses in physics. Based on years of teaching experience, this textbook builds from simple fundamental concepts to cover the essentials of the field. Aimed at physics undergraduate students with a basic background in quantum mechanics, it guides readers through theory and experiment, introducing all the central concepts without getting caught up in details. Worked examples and exercises make this useful as a self-study text for those who want a brief introduction before starting on more advanced books.

An overview of quantum cryptography: Simulation

Carlos Adolfo Diaz-Rodriguez, Miguel Ángel Olivares-Robles, Arturo Juarez

In this work we present an introductory discussion on the basic elements of quantum cryptography (QC) and we show results of simulation using some simulators in the literature whose aim is enables the user learn or practice QC under simulated conditions to prepare for actual performance. Our discussion is presented in the framework of first commercial attempts for quantum encryption.
