San Antonio Catholic University of Murcia (UCAM), has welcomed this morning's paper in Telecommunications engineer, PhD in Theoretical Physics and Professor of the Catalan Institute for Research i Advanced Studies (ICREA), the Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO ), Antonio Dal Maschio Acin, who has lectured on 'Recent advances in quantum information theory'.
The rapporteur has said in relation to the level of key security over the Internet, "I think for normal to have a proper security, but for highly critical applications, perhaps the security we have is not optimal. The current security bank accounts can be improved ", and stressed the quantum information theory as the way forward.
Antonio Acin defined quantum information citing the evolution of computers.
"Quantum information is very simple to understand, see computers as they were ten years ago and look as they are now smaller and more powerful, but why is this? This happens because we are able to make information more and more particles small, and indeed in laboratories and are entering information on an atomic scale particles, and then, at the time you put information into particles that have to be described by quantum physics, quantum information have, "he assured the rapporteur.
Quantum Theory Society
On applications of quantum theory to the needs of today's society, the specialist in the field has been identified as two possible paths, the possibility of more powerful computers and a new type of security to encrypt messages.
"In the background is a very young field, the limitations and possibilities are there, that's interesting, because if you are a good idea as a good application that exploits the quantum phenomena. Right now we are beginning to investigate to which can be reached or not using these new tools, "he asserted.
