‘Classified knots’: Researchers create optical framed knots to encode information – Phys.org

In a world first, researchers from the University of Ottawa in collaboration with Israeli scientists have been able to create optical framed knots in the laboratory that could potentially be applied in modern technologies. Their work opens the door to new methods of distributing secret cryptographic keysused to encrypt and decrypt data, ensure secure communication and protect private information. The group recently published their findings in Nature Communications.
“This is fundamentally import…
