What is Quan­tum Com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on?

In his role as chief edi­tor of IP-Insi­der, a spe­cia­li­zed web por­tal for net­work tech­no­lo­gy and mobi­le and IP com­mu­ni­ca­ti­ons, Andre­as Don­ner regu­lar­ly inter­views guests on the topics of net­work tech­no­lo­gy and IP-based com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on. The third epi­so­de of his pod­cast, Local­host, revol­ves around secu­re com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on. He is joi­n­ed here by Dr. Nico­las Speth­mann to look into what Quan­tum Com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on is and how it works. Speth­mann heads the Quan­tum Tech­no­lo­gy Com­pe­tence Cen­ter at PTB, Germany’s natio­nal metro­lo­gy insti­tu­te based in Braun­schweig, and is also spo­kesper­son for SQuaD, the Umbrel­la Pro­ject for Quan­tum Com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on in Ger­ma­ny. In the pod­cast, he intro­du­ces SQuaD to lis­ten­ers and explains how the cryp­to­gra­phic pro­ce­du­res curr­ent­ly in place and still con­side­red safe can remain unal­tera­ble and secu­re even in the age of Quan­tum Com­pu­ters.
