|---|---|---|---|
Coin tossing over telephone, a cryptographic protocol for quantum key distribution. This protocol builds on the ground breaking work of Manuel Blum and also on the nice works of Gabi Molina. See for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_coin_flipping | |||
| A single photon spectrometer for building entanglement sources. Photon pair source exhibit different kind of spectral contributions which need to be characterized. Standard grating spectrometers are to lossy to detect single photons. Let's build a better one. | |||
| Hacking a single photon detector by a radio frequency side channel. Every electric device has some compromising electromagnetic emission. This can be used to ruin the security based on compromising emissions of a single photon detector. | |||
Building the quantum telephone. We are having a quantum key distribution setup, which can be used to communicate over the phone. This needs to be programmed. | |||
Hands-on quantum cryptography & quantum randomness. | |||
Making single photons by using single molecules | |||
| Atomic quantum magnetometry / optically pumped magnetometers | |||
Making quanutm random numbers with antimatter (really, not a joke project) |
