Coherent Control of
the Fundamental Processes in Optics symposium
As part of the Modern
Trends in Laser Physics seminar the Coherent Control of
the Fundamental Processes in Optics symposium will be
held. The Symposium will be focused on the recent
progress in the various fields of coherent interaction
of laser radiation with matter resulting in control of
properties of both matter and light with applications to
physical systems of
different origin: atomic and molecular gases, rare-earth
and transition metal ions doped crystals, semiconductor
heterostructures, etc.

Round Table "Standardization of Quantum Key Distribution systems"
Quantum key
distribution (QKD) systems, albeit in its incipient
stage, are already easily available off the shelf today.
There are now some concerns world wide regarding the
issues of standardization and protocols. A global
standard will ensure security levels and address quality
and customer demands. For QKD, there are several aspects
that may need to be standardized. Some of these issues
are
(a) physical system on which the QKD protocol is based
and its requirement for sufficient level of security,
(b) issues related to metrology and internal interfaces,
and
(c) external interfaces to QKD systems including
physical and algorithmic interfaces to the available
classical (standard) protocols and resources like
authentication, error correction, privacy amplification,
etc.
This round table discussion is an effort to explore the
possibility of initiating QKD standards and benchmarks.
The discussion will also focus on identifying new
challenges in this field.
Co-chairs:
Prof. Mohamed Ridza Wahiddin (Malaysia)
Prof. Hugo Zbinden (Switzerland)
Prof. Sergey Molotkov (Russia)
ROUND TABLE devoted to the Standardization of QKD will be held on Thursday (July,
3) during the evening session of SEMINAR 7.
