The field of quantum cryptography has advanced rapidly in the previous years, not least because with the age of quantum computing drawing closer, traditional encryption methods are at risk. The textbook presents the necessary mathematical tools without assuming much background, making it accessible to readers without experience in quantum information theory. In particular, the topic of classical and quantum entropies is presented in great detail. Furthermore, the author discusses the different types of quantum key distribution protocols and explains several tools for proving the security of these protocols. In addition, a number of applications of quantum key distribution are discussed, demonstrating its value to state-of-the-art cryptography and communication. This book leads the reader through the mathematical background with a variety of worked-out examples and exercises. It is primarily targeted at graduate students and advanced undergraduates in theoretical physics. The presented material is largely self-contained and only basic knowledge in quantum mechanics and linear algebra is required. 001438747 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed August 17, 2021). 001438747 650_0 $$aQuantum communication$$xSecurity measures. 001438747 650_0 $$aData encryption (Computer science) 001438747 650_0 $$aCryptography. 001438747 650_6 $$aCommunication quantique$$xSécurité$$xMesures. 001438747 650_6 $$aChiffrement (Informatique) 001438747 650_6 $$aCryptographie. 001438747 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001438747 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aWolf, Ramona.$$tQuantum key distribution.$$dCham : Springer, [2021]$$z3030739902$$z9783030739904$$w(OCoLC)1241730797 001438747 830_0 $$aLecture notes in physics ;$$v988.$$x0075-8450 001438747 852__ $$bebk 001438747 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-73991-1$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001438747 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1438747$$pGLOBAL_SET 001438747 980__ $$aBIB 001438747 980__ $$aEBOOK 001438747 982__ $$aEbook 001438747 983__ $$aOnline 001438747 994__ $$a92$$bISE
