Event: From Quantum Weirdness to Unhackable Links: A New Kind of Cybersecurity
Date: Wednesday 24 April 2024
Time: 18:00
Venue: Aula Prima, University of Malta, Valletta Campus
"Quantum mechanics predicts some truly weird phenomena. Things can be in two places at the same time. Switches can be on and off simultaneously. Teleportation is a reality.
All of this and more will be discussed during our public talk, entitled 'From Quantum Weirdness to Unhackable Links: A New Kind of Cybersecurity', in which we will take a walk through some basic quantum concepts and show how, more than simply abstract mathematics, they can help us build better computers and other technologies.
This talk will further discuss how quantum technologies simultaneously threaten our cybersecurity apparatus and allow us to build unhackable, ultrasecure communication systems.
The talk, which will be given by Prof. André Xuereb, Professor of Quantum Physics at the University of Malta and founder of Merqury Cybersecurity, will take place at 18:00 in the Aula Prima at the University of Malta’s Valletta Campus on Wednesday 24 April 2024.
All interested parties are encouraged to attend, and are kindly ask to RSVP online.
Light refreshments will be served.
This talk is being organised by PRISM, a project that aims to set up an ultra-secure quantum communications network in Malta, which forms part of the European Quantum Communication Infrastructure initiative.
