Department Name: Physics

Abstract

Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.
 
Description A scheme for digital signatures based on comparison of quantum states that has security guaranteed by the laws of physics rather than unproven mathematical conjecture.
Exploitation Route We will be doing this ourselves by developing the system under the new QT hubs scheme.
Sectors Digital/Communication/Information Technologies (including Software)
