Quantum mechanics offers dramatically novel ways to process information. It is known that a fully functioning quantum computer would break some encrypting algorithms, such as RSA, which is used nowadays. However, quantum mechanics offers an alternative to standard cryptography, which cannot be broken by a quantum computer – the quantum key distribution. For this reason, designing and realizing quantum key distribution protocols in practice is a highly important task and involves a huge effort of theoreticians and engineers nowadays. Depending on the level of professional paranoia, there are different levels of trust toward devices realizing quantum key distribution, ranging from device dependent through semi-device dependent to fully device-independent quantum cryptography. Due to novel quantum hacker attacks which exploit imperfections of implementation, the lower levels of security need the significant effort of engineers to be useful for encryption.

Interactions between algebraic, asymptotic and enumerative combinatorics is the central theme of the summer school. Our aim is to provide a platform for keen researchers to delve into these research areas, guided by the lectures of the invited specialists.

The summer school is intended for young researchers working in algebraic, asymptotic and enumerative combinatorics or who would like to deepen their knowledge. Of course, more mature researchers are also most welcome.

The main content of the summer school is provided by three series of lectures by the three invited speakers who are experts in these fields of research. Each series consists of 5 lectures (60 minutes each) accompanied by 2 exercise sessions (60 minutes each).

Junior participants will have an opportunity to present posters. There will be a limited number of short talks which are intended as a possibility for junior participants to present their results.

The quantum world is always portrayed as something weird, spooky, and utterly impossible to comprehend. How can we ever hope to talk or reason about such a complicated thing? In this summer school you’ll learn how to do just that via a newly developed pictorial representation of quantum processes. This new representation is friendly and intuitive to work with, but at the same time is provably equivalent to the old way of doing things. Using these ideas we’ll explore the breadth of quantum theory, from foundational phenomena and quantum resources to quantum computing and cryptography.
