I introduce the basic principles of quantum cryptography, and discuss today's status of its technology, with examples of optical schemes and components. No prior knowledge of quantum mechanics is required :).

This first lecture is about the basics of quantum cryptography. Lectures 2 and 3 cover quantum hacking:
   • Quantum hacking  Vadim Makarov part 1  
   • Quantum hacking  Vadim Makarov part 2
