"New Open-Source Software Is Greater Than the Sum of Its Parts"
Norbert Lutkenhaus, executive director of the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) and professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Waterloo, has been working with his research group to develop accurate software models for Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) research. QKD is a process for cryptography involving the application of quantum mechanics principles to exchange secret keys used to ensure secure communication.
