In the second lecture of the full length course the essential concept of randomness and its critical role in quantum cryptography is discussed.
The topics of Lecture 2 are the following:Key Topics Covered
- What is randomness, and how do we define it?
- How can we test whether a process is genuinely random?
- How do quantum processes provide a source of perfect randomness?
- How can entanglement be leveraged to create shared randomness between two parties?
In this Preview we would like to present you the second video of Lecture 2 on "Quantum Randomness" with- Randomness in Quantum Processes
- Quantum Random Number Generators (ideal and realistic)
- Entanglement as source of shared randomness
