Dear All,
This weeks research day on Tuesday will be at the Computer Science Building. Note that we have moved to a new building, the CAB! Furthermore, there is NO locked door anymore :-) In case you want to visit our new offices (we also have several free workplaces) we are located on the F-floor:
Stefan: CAB F 52 Matthias: CAB F 52.1 Esther: CAB F 51 Manuel + Viktor: CAB F 51.1 Severin + Dejan: CAB F 39
Speaker: Esther Haenggi Title: Privacy Amplification of Non-Signaling Boxes Time: 5 pm Place: CAB H 53
Abstract:
I will talk about our recent result on privacy amplification of non-signaling secrecy. The talk will have two parts: the first part is an introduction to how 'boxes' are related to quantum key distribution. This part should be extremely basic and, therefore, boring for people actually working on boxes (but on the other hand understandable for people NOT working on them). The second part will be about the actual result that non-signaling secrecy can be enhanced by taking the XOR of partially secure bits and how this leads to a key-distribution scheme. This part is more technical. I will clearly mark the transition between the two parts and you are, of course, welcome to attend either, both or neither of the parts.
Cheers,
Dejan
