Dear All,
Just thought I'd pass on a nice demo idea from the AJP, involving
participants with coloured glasses and chocolate balls replicating a
quantum encryption protocol, even in the face of classical and quantum
attack:
American Journal of Physics,
September 2006 - Volume 74,
Issue 9, pp. 800-803
Karl Svozil - Staging quantum cryptography with chocolate balls
The first performance of this idea took place at the Vienna University
of Technology as a part of “Lange Nacht der Forschung” (Long Night of
Science) event.
I think I might try this out at a Quantum Information event here in
Oxford soon...
best,
Mark
