Graduate Summer School on Post-Quantum and Quantum Cryptography 2022

Explore the intersection of quantum computing and cryptography through this comprehensive graduate-level summer school program covering both post-quantum and quantum cryptographic systems. Begin with foundational cryptography principles through Jonathan Katz's three-part introduction, then advance to quantum computing fundamentals with Fang Song's detailed exploration of quantum systems and algorithms. Delve into post-quantum cryptographic methods including supersingular isogeny-based key exchange mechanisms presented by Craig Costello and examine post-quantum assumptions with Chris Peikert's analysis of cryptographic foundations in the quantum era. Master information-theoretic quantum cryptography through Anne Broadbent's two-part series covering quantum key distribution, quantum authentication, and unconditional security models. Understand the quantum random oracle model through Dominique Unruh's comprehensive treatment of quantum-accessible random oracles and their implications for cryptographic proofs. Learn advanced post-quantum proof techniques with Fermi Ma's detailed examination of quantum rewinding methods and strategies for handling quantum attackers in security proofs. Conclude with Dakshita Khurana's exploration of assumption weakening in quantum cryptography, covering recent advances in reducing the computational assumptions required for quantum cryptographic protocols and examining the theoretical foundations that enable secure quantum communication systems.
