Place:
Hybrid form (on-line and at the Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw)
During the workshop, scientists working at the National Laboratory for Photonics and Quantum Technologies and invited representatives of the world of science and industry from abroad will present the physical basics of quantum key distribution (QKD), as well as the current state of development, perspectives and challenges facing this technology. The speakers will include employees of European telecommunications companies actively involved in the creation of secure networks based on QKD technology and people directly involved in the launch of the first QKD systems in Poland.
