Quantum Communication
Theory Group

Our group works on several theoretical aspects of quantum cryptography and quantum communication

This includes closing the gap between theoretical concepts for quantum key distribution (QKD) and their experimental implementation with current photonic technology, the finite-key security analysis of these systems – with special emphasis on the problem of implementation security – , the study of the semi-device-independent and the fully device-independent quantum communication frameworks, the development of high-performance QKD protocols able to increase the secret key rate and maximum distance covered by practical QKD systems, as well as the investigation of beyond-QKD quantum communication schemes, and quantum networks.
