Prerequisites
If you have not taken our lecture course in quantum communications (or an equivalent course), you must then read a couple articles prior to taking any of these labs. This will give you a basic understanding of quantum cryptography:
- W. Tittel et al., Quantum cryptography, Phys. World 11(3), 41–45 (1998).
- C. H. Bennett et al., Experimental quantum cryptography, J. Cryptology 5, 3–28 (1992).
