Cilji in kompetence:

Objectives and competences:

Predmet raziskuje načela kvantne mehanike za varne komunikacijske in omrežne tehnologije. Glavni poudarek je na razumevanju in obravnavanju varnostnih izzivov in priložnosti, ki jih predstavljajo kvantna kriptografija in kvantna omrežja.

Študenti bodo raziskali arhitekturo, protokole in tehnologije, na katerih temeljijo kvantni komunikacijski sistemi, s posebnim poudarkom na varnosti. To vključuje preučevanje kvantnih kriptografskih metod, izvajanje kvantne distribucije ključev in vključevanje kvantnih omrežij v klasično infrastrukturo.

Pridobljeno znanje in spretnosti bodo študentom omogočili analizo in oceno varnih kvantnih komunikacijskih sistemov.

This course explores the principles of quantum mechanics as they apply to secure communication and networking technologies. The primary focus is on understanding and addressing the security challenges and opportunities presented by quantum cryptography and quantum networks.

The students will explore the architecture, protocols, and technologies underlying quantum communication systems with a particular focus on security. This includes studying quantum cryptographic methods, the implementation of quantum key distribution, and the integration of quantum networks into classical infrastructure.

Gained knowledge and skills will enable students to analyze and evaluate secure quantum communication systems.
