Abstract: In recent years, the notion of magic in quantum physics – originally confined to more esoteric quantum information processing subfields – has attracted the attention of the community of quantum many-body physics, quantum chaos and complexity, high-energy physics, AdS-CFT and the foundations of quantum mechanics. In this colloquium, we will give a survey of what quantum magic is, how it can be measured, and why we should care (and why and when we should not).

Speakers: Prof. Alioscia Hamma & Dr. Salvatore F.E. Oliviero

Quantum cryptography aims to achieve security from fundamental physical principles, such as the quantum mechanical phenomena of entanglement and Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. In the last few years significant progress has been made in the theoretical understanding of quantum cryptography and its technological feasibility has been demonstrated experimentally. Quantum cryptography is therefore regarded as one of the most promising candidates for a future quantum technology.
