On Sunday, November 10, 2024, at 12:45 p.m., at the Leonardo Da Vinci National Museum of Science and Technology in Milan, as part of the event “FOCUS LIVE 2024”, Angelo Bassi, professor of Quantum Mechanics at the University of Trieste, will give a lecture titled “How Quantum Mechanics Will Change the Web”.

Communications security is a growing priority due to increasingly sophisticated cybersecurity threats. Traditional data protection techniques show limitations in the face of cyber attacks, putting sensitive information at risk. Quantum communication, thanks to the principle of inviolability of transmitted information, offers a new security frontier.

During the talk, quantum key distribution (QKD) techniques and projects currently underway in Italy, which open new avenues toward more robust and secure data protection, will be presented.

Introduced by Andrea Parlangeli, Focus journalist.
