Seminar Title: Towards network quantum communication

Seminar Abstract:

Quantum approaches offer the promise of secure communications and novel schemes such as teleportation. A future quantum internet requires the development of quantum networking protocols as well as metrics to characterize and evaluate quantum resources and performance. This talk will describe our studies of multiparty protocols such as controlled teleportation, multiparty computation and private comparison, and evaluate their use for ensuring network security and privacy.

Short biography:

Shohini Ghose is a Professor of Physics and Computer Science at Wilfrid Laurier University and the Chief Technology Officer of the Quantum Algorithms Institute. She holds the NSERC Chair for Women in Science and Engineering (ON) and is the founding Director of the Laurier Centre for Women in Science. Her research focuses on quantum computation and communication. She and her research collaborators were the first to observe signatures of chaos in quantum entanglement, and to demonstrate the first programmable simulations of quantum chaos on a quantum computer. She has also developed new quantum communication protocols and methods to generate, concentrate and measure multiqubit entanglement. She is a member of Canada’s Quantum Advisory Council overseeing the National Quantum Strategy. Ghose is the recipient of several awards, including a TED Senior Fellowship and selection to the College of the Royal Society of Canada. Her 2023 book Her Space, Her Time: How trailblazing women scientists decoded the hidden universe has been shortlisted for the Science Writers and Communicators of Canada Book Award.
