Alibaba, QRNGs, and FinTech all for Cybersecurity
The quantum technology Alibaba has developed is now being put to the test for quantum encryption for financial transactions among its cloud users, including Ant Financial and Alipay. According to Leilei Huang, an infrastructure engineer and colleagues at Oxford, this quantum security work has been in production for over a year.
Finding a Way to Encode Quantum Coherence in Photon Pair Pulses
Observing quantum coherence from photons scattered in free-space Quantum Coherence Observed CAS. Each optical pulse from the laser is sent through a phase Converter, which creates two coherent pulses, while the multi-mode Analyzer measures the signals scattered off the target surface, implemented with regular bright paper. A single-photon-detector-array is used as the detection device, with […]
