Over the past three decades, the developing field of quantum information science has established that current encryption methods are fundamentally insecure, but also that photonic links could enable guaranteed-security. Quantum key distribution is now available commercially over short distances, and the race is on to build the first quantum computers that could “crack the internet”. In this talk Josh will give an overview of the field of quantum and post-quantum communications, survey the state of the art, and describe the challenges and opportunities in this area, for the coming years.
