Summary
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the basic physical principles and experimental implementations of modern quantum communication technologies, especially quantum key distribution, the security of which is guaranteed by the laws of quantum physics. Students will gradually learn the basics of coherent optical communications and acquire the basics of quantum optics. Attention is paid to the properties of photons and electrons and to the description of the differences between the collective and individual properties of a set of particles and their mathematical description.
