Brief Description

Quantum communication is an allied discipline of quantum computing, both falling under the domain of applied quantum physics. The area has found significant attention over the past few years as it has great potential in cryptography and solving large and complex mathematical problems. The underlying computing-based operations are quite different from classical computers as the underlying storage utilizes the concept of a qubit rather than a bit. Similarly, the underlying communication system utilizes the concept of particle nature of light rather than classical communication using EM-waves. The talk’s objective would be to motivate students and researchers toward developments in the area. The talk will be directed towards electrical engineering and computer science students in particular. The talk will also cover some aspects of an ongoing study on the utilization of BCH and Polar codes on quantum-channels.

Speaker Profile:

Dr. Omar Usman Khan is the Director of Campus and Associate Professor at FAST-NUCES Peshawar. He joined the department in 2014 after completing his Postdoctoral Fellowship under the DyNanoMag project, funded by the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research, where he worked on the development of computational tools for spintronic/magnonic devices, working in the field of computational micromagnetics. His broader area of research is scientific and high-performance computing, information theory, computational linguistics, wireless networks, modeling and simulation, signal processing, and computational graph theory. He completed his Ph.D. in Control and Computer Engineering from Politecnico di Torino, Italy in 2013, under the supervision of Prof. Carlo Ragusa and Dr. Bartolomeo Montrucchio, and funded by the HEC under the HRDI-UESTP Project.
