Hacking Quantum Key Distribution Hardware

or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Burn Things with Lasers

Video Slides (PDF)

Quantum devices are the next big addition to the general computing and technology landscape. However, just like classical hardware, quantum hardware can be hacked. I will share some of my (successful) attempts to break the security of quantum key distribution hardware with the biggest laser I could find!

Talk video here, slides as pptx/pdf, and schedule.
