CS 590AB/690BB Quantum Cryptography

n this course we will introduce the world of quantum cryptographic protocols and describe how the power of quantum mechanics can enable distribution of shared secret keys even with untrusted devices. It will also introduce many other fascinating quantum protocols beyond quantum key distribution. The course will meet jointly with the course 690BB which covers the same material. Unlike 690BB this course does not include a project as one of the assessment components and it puts more grade weight on the homework. This course counts as a CS Elective for the CS Major.
