Components for these systems are now commercially available, and it seems very likely that quantum cryptography will be an important technology long before quantum computers of useful size are constructed.

The sections on quantum cryptography, quantum proper ties of squeezed light, and experimental effor ts to measure gravitational waves provide adequate introduction to these exciting applications of quantum optics.

In contrast to symmetric cryptosystems, public key cryptography is a form of cryptography which generally allows users to communicate securely without having prior access to a shared secret key.

Recall that, in case of asymmetric cryptography, the decryption key for a ciphertext is the inverse of the key that was used to create the ciphertext.
