Dear all

Valerio Scarani will be visiting us next week.  After his talk on Monday in the CS department, he will give a second, more physics-oriented talk on Tuesday afternoon (see below). 

I hope to see many of you there.

Best wishes

Practical quantum cryptography: recent progresses
Valerio Scarani
National University of Singapore, Singapore

Abstract:
Some time ago, I co-authored a review article on practical quantum cryptography [1]. The field has not stopped progressing since then. I shall sketch the initial developments as presented in [1], for the sake of those who are not familiar with them; then I shall present the more recent results and suggest some ideas for the future.
