Inspiring videos,
meet Alessandro Marcomini.
The video shared on LinkedIn features an interview with Alessandro Marcomini, a researcher in quantum cryptography at the Vigo Quantum Communication Center (VQCC), part of the atlanTTic research center at the University of Vigo.
Marcomini discusses his daily work as a researcher and explains the projects he is involved in, focusing on how quantum cryptography can ensure secure communications in a future where quantum computers become a reality. He highlights the unique advantage of quantum cryptography: based on the laws of quantum mechanics, any attempt to intercept the communication can be detected due to the no-cloning theorem, which states that quantum information cannot be copied without being altered.
The interview also covers the progress made by the VQCC, including the establishment of a quantum key distribution (QKD) link on the University of Vigo campus — the first of its kind in Galicia. Marcomini mentions collaborations with international research centers aimed at building more secure and efficient quantum communication infrastructures.
In summary, the video offers an insightful look into VQCC’s cutting-edge work in quantum cryptography, emphasizing its critical role in the future of cybersecurity in an increasingly interconnected world.
