Quantum cryptography
Quantum cryptography secures communication using the laws of physics — most notably quantum key distribution, in which any attempt to intercept a key measurably disturbs it. It also spans quantum-random-number and post-quantum methods.
As quantum computers threaten today's public-key encryption, physically-guaranteed secure communication becomes essential for finance, government, and critical infrastructure.
Quantum key distribution works over fiber and satellite links today, but range, cost, and integration with existing networks limit widespread use.
The discovery loop, applied.
Through the Computational Discovery center, ASIZ aims the discovery loop at quantum cryptography: frontier models survey the literature and simulate the possibilities, rank the experiments most likely to resolve the open questions, and partner labs run the decisive ones — with results shared openly.
