Funded Activity Summary

Knowledge, Ignorance, and Security in Higher-dimensional Quantum Systems. This project aims to provide new understanding of information and security in higher-dimensional systems, and to exploit this to deliver a secure, high-capacity, quantum image transfer protocol for quantum communication and quantum cryptography technologies. In quantum physics, the best possible knowledge of a whole does not include the best possible knowledge of the parts: not knowing any of the letters of a word does not imply not knowing what the word is. This project aims to examine the high-dimensional transverse spatial modes of photon to show that the converse is also true: not knowing the word does not imply not knowing any of the letters. Project outcomes may have applications in remote sensing and surveillance.
