Hi all,
Tomorrow Xavier Coiteux-Roy of USI Lugano will tell us about "Quantum-resistant cryptography for Bennett-Maxwell demons". See below for the abstract. The meeting will take place in HIT F13 and on zoom at the usual address https://ethz.zoom.us/j/362994444.
Best, Joe

Title: Quantum-resistant cryptography for Bennett-Maxwell demons Abstract: I will present how the second law of thermodynamics allows in principle to achieve information-theoretically secure cryptographic primitives such as secret-key establishment and oblivious transfer. While idealized, our proposed protocols explore the limits of logically and thermodynamically reversible computation and act as a focal point to contrast the properties of information in different physical theories.
