| Two quantum tales | QCRYPT 2025 | invited ▸ presenter | — |
I shall discuss two topics, which are loosely connected by Artur Ekert's E91 protocol, whose subtitles are (1) How quantum cryptography came to be, and (2) Who told you that Nature is nonlocal? The first tale will cover the period from Stephen Wiesner's seminal Conjugate Coding to Ekert's protocol; the second tale will start with EPR 1935, evolve through John Bell's 1964 seminal paper to the experiments that led to the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics that purport to force us to renounce local realism, and culminate with my reasons to believe that Nature is local and realistic nevertheless. |

| The security of quantum bit commitment schemes | QIP 1999 | invited | — |
Can quantum mechanics be harnessed to provide unconditionally secure bit commitment schemes and other cryptographic primitives beyond key distribution? This was believed possible for several years until Mayers came along with his proof that the "provably" secure BCJL bit commitment scheme was fatally flawed. |
