Quantum Cryptography Roadmap

The purpose of the quantum cryptography roadmap is to help facilitate the progress of research towards a quantum information assurance era. It is a living document: additional sections of the roadmap will be added shortly, and it will be updated at least annually.

Please e-mail comments on the quantum cryptography roadmap to Richard Hughes with a copy to Malcom Boshier.
