Okinawa School in Physics: From quantum key distribution to the quantum internet (OSP2025)

The main focus of this school is quantum communications ranging from quantum key distribution (the most advanced quantum technology) to quantum internet (the future goal of quantum platform). This fields involves security technology, cryptography, post-quantum crypto, entanglement engineering, quantum optics, quantum memory, quantum solid state physics, ion traps, quantum protocols, quantum evaluation theory, quantum networks, etc. This field has yet not attracted the same attention for quantum computation, however the future impact of the science and technology from quantum communications will be important to integrate various quantum and classical technologies. We aim to grow a research community in this field to advance these emerging science and technology.
