- Quantum cryptography using qutrits
- Quantum cryptography QC is still in a very early stage and there are very few commercial products available. But this doesn't prevent researchers to look at new solutions. For example, physicists from the University of Wien, Austria, are testing qutrits instead of the more common qubits. These qutrits can simultaneously...

- Quantum Computing and Cryptography: Their Impact on Cryptographic Practice
- Quantum cryptography may find application in certain specific applications. For example, in securing metropolitan area data links. However, the constraints upon its use do not make it a practical solution for many popular applications of cryptography at this time. If research into quantum routers and quantum digital signatures bears fruit,...

- Heisenberg Security at your service
- Researchers at the University of Toronto have developed a new technique using photons to keep your data safe when transmitted over a fiber-optic cable. They based their research on Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle and used photonic 'decoys' to encrypt data over distances of 15 kilometers. By mixing these photon keys with...

- Detecting single photons
- What do you do when you need to transmit a signal over a long distance, from Saturn, say, and you're low on power? Until now, you turned the bandwidth way down, but new single-photon detectors could change that. Technology Review has an interview with Karl Berggren, an electrical engineering...

- In this news release, researchers from the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology NIST report that they have demonstrated for the first time that six charged atoms of beryllium, or ions, could collectively spin clockwise and counterclockwise at the same time. This so-called Schrödinger 'cat' state could lead to...
