4.3 Quantum computing: safeguarding data in photon parcels -w/Eleanna,Anastasiia&Valentin Averchenko

The Science Basement Podcast

Data security is a hot topic and its relevance is increasing with advancing technologies. Because of that, scientists have been putting their minds to work out ways to deliver information quickly yet securely. One doesn’t need to go far to see one of the ways to do it. It’s light! Indeed, we can use a single light particle - photon - to package and deliver our precious data. Our guest for this episode, Valentin, tells us how we can extract these tiny photons, stuff them with information and send out for delivery as a part of the quantum computing technology. Valentin is a PhD in Physics and a Senior Research Scientist at Corning Incorporated. Your hosts for this episode are Eleanna Asvestari & Anastasiia Marmyleva. Editing by Marie-Noëlle Paludetto.
