 | | Quantum key distribution allows two parties, traditionally known as Alice and Bob, to establish a secure random cryptographic key if, rstly, they have access to a quantum communication channel, and secondly, they can exchange classical public messages which can be monitored but not altered by an eavesdropper, Eve. |
| | The theory of classical universal computation was laid down in 1936, was implemented within a decade, became commercial within another decade, and dominated the world's economy half a century later. |
| | I will describe the route that took us from experimental work on a new packing problem (looking for "codes" in Grassmann manifolds - e.g., how should you place 18 planes through the origin in Euclidean 4-space so that they are as far apart as possible?) to the construction of codes for quantum computers. |
