Rump Session at ECOC 2024

On 24 September 2024, Johanna Henrich accepted an invitation to take part in a rump session at the European Conference on Optical Communication (ECOC) 2024. The session dealt with the pros and cons of post-quantum cryptography and quantum key distribution, and the extent to which they can be used in combination to reliably protect us from future attacks by quantum computers.

ECOC is Europe’s leading conference on optical communications with representatives from science and research. It consists of a broad exhibition and a parallel conference and took place this year from 22 to 26 September in Frankfurt am Main.
