Feasible Quantum Technology for Secure Classical Computing

Abstract

During the last few years it was shown that quantum-enhances data protection is not only possible for communication tasks, but also for quantum computations and even classical software when quantum technology is used. This project by the AOARD played a key role in the development of feasible photonic quantum technology for quantum-enhanced security for classical and with some extend also quantum computers. The main focus of this project was put on real-life demonstrations of so-called classical one-time programs and signatures by building an urban test network that allowed for the investigation under realistic conditions. Our demonstration of simplified schemed that exploit quantum entanglement showed that a significant increase in transmission rates is possible, while reducing the technical complexity at the same time.
