We're trying to find in-person venues in Manhattan but in the meantime this talk will be virtual. It's possible that we can find a venue at the last minute so please provide an ID.
Our speaker is Michael Cubeddu is Co-Founder and VP of R&D at Aliro, a quantum networking company spun out of Harvard University in 2019. At Aliro, he focuses on research, IP, and customer and partner relations. Michael is a published author in quantum research, and a co-inventor of several patents in quantum computing software, error correction, and quantum network protocols -- all driving deployment of commercial-grade product lines at Aliro. He is actively involved in the Quantum Economic Development Consortium and serves as the liaison between the QED-C and the ITU-T for quantum key distribution standards development.
Abstract: Quantum Secure Communications (QSC) offers the highest level of network security for data-in-transit. This presentation will explain QSC principles, and illustrate how to implement and operate a real full-stack QSC network, including the relevant hardware and software layers. The session will cover how key distribution and entanglement-based networking are implemented in practice, and how these technologies integrate with existing network infrastructure and applications. Attendees will gain a clear understanding of a practical implementation of QSC and its usage in securing communications against quantum and classical threats.
