Description: Summary
Tobias Heindel leads a group called Quantum Communication Systems at the TU Berlin. They generate single particles of light called photons and use them to encode quantum information and transfer it between parties. This method of communication is ultra secure and provably secure based on the laws of quantum physics. The research group works with semiconductor quantum dots and other quantum emitters to create quantum light sources. While the development of a quantum internet is a long-term mission, quantum communication systems are already available and can be used for quantum-secured communication. Tobias Heindel shares his career...
