‘Alice in Quantum Wonderland’ by Dr Adetunmise Dada
Quantum physics describes a physical universe that can be very different from what is consistent with our everyday experiences and intuition. Are these counterintuitive phenomena mere fascinations, or can they be somewhat harnessed to create disruptive new technology? In this talk, we will introduce and illustrate some of the basic concepts of quantum physics and conventional (or ‘classical’) cryptography. Using an illustration in which Alice seeks to send a secret message to a friend, we will then highlight a loophole in classical cryptography and how quantum ‘magic’ comes to the rescue!
