Areas of Work

*Dr.Jurgen Mlynek – HLSC Chairman

Quantum Communication

• Quantum Key Distribution• Quantum Random Number Generator• Fully Quantum repeater• Trusted Node Networks

Quantum Computing

• Quantum computing - stable, scalable architecture

• Error Correcting, Robust Qubits • Quantum memory • Demonstrating Quantum Speedup

Quantum simulation

• Quantum Simulator platform• High temperature superconductivity• Energy storage, distribution, transportation

Quantum Sensing and Metrology

• Solid State Quantum Sensors – ie. MRIs• Quantum Imaging devices – ie. Better image

resolution• Atomic and molecular interferometer devices-

ie. navigation• Quantum Metrology – ie. time measurements

Are we there yet?

Viable Quantum Computer:: currently – no

What are we going to do about it?

1. Increase Key Length of Current Crypto used

2. Investigate options for Quantum Key Distribution for high critical links with demands for long term secrecy

3. Investigate Post Quantum Cryptographic Algorithms and determine deployment strategy

Key length -> NSA Advice

“IAD will initiate a transition to quantum resistant algorithms in

the not too distant future.”

“Our ultimate goal is to provide cost effective security against a potential quantum computer.”

Quantum Key Distribution – QKD

Post Quantum Cryptography – PQCRYPTOA new hope

PQCRYPTO.org -> Tanja Lange & Dan Bernstein Lattice Based - McEliece since 1978 CESG & Soliloquy Supersingular Isogeny Diffie Hellman – (SIDH) – aka- ‘the hottest

thing we have’’ – Phil Zimmermann - Post Quantum Crypto at internet scale

To Ban or Cripple Strong Encryption?

• The original crypto wars• What do Freeh / Comey / Cameron-Teresa May / FR-

Cazeneuve & DE - de Maizière ministers of interior want?• On backdoors, front doors, and golden key management• Magical Thinking

Capture now –decrypt later Vs time to implement Quandry

“Without quantum-safe encryption, everything that has been transmitted, or

will ever be transmitted, over a network is vulnerable to eavesdropping and public

disclosure.”

What type of problems can we solve with a Quantum Computer

What type of problems can we solve with a Quantum Computer

• Large data set problems• Needle in haystack

problems-----------------------------------• Protein mapping and drug

interaction• Earlier detection of cancer

Dr. Jos Joore at Singularity University

In Conclusion…. We’re just getting started

IBM – Public Access to Quantum Computing Platform – 17 qubits

Google – Quantum Supremacy Experiment – 50 qubits -within 1 year (More than a year ago)

What we will need in coming days, months, years: Common way forward – active

participation Providing thought leadership and

action in the field of future security controls … in time

Combining options for defense in depth … like we’re used to
