After all, what would better suit freshmen attending a University in the heart of Silicon Valley than a course focused on the relationship between rhetoric and new frontiers of electronic life? I took it for granted that these remarkable students, whoever they might turn out to be, would be ...

Entanglement-based quantum communication offers an increased level of security in practical secret shared key distribution. One the fundamental principles enabling this security---the fact that interfering with one photon will destroy entanglement and thus be detectable---is also greatest obstacle. Random encounters traveling photons, losses, technical imperfections make noise inevitable part a...
