Quantum cryptography has traditionally been defined as the application of quantum mechanics to secure communication, with Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) as its most recognized example. However, this lecture redefines and expands the scope of quantum cryptography by introducing groundbreaking innovations such as the Quantum Permutation Pad (QPP) and Quantum Encryption in Phase Space (QEPS). These advancements leverage quantum principles to address modern cryptographic challenges and secure critical infrastructure. In this session, we will explore: The current landscape of quantum cryptography: Traditional definitions, applications like QKD, and their inherent limitations. Redefining quantum cryptography: How QPP introduces quantum-secure symmetric encryption through its matrix representation and asymmetric encryption via its arithmetic representation, alongside the versatility of QEPS in achieving infrastructure-level security. The intersection of quantum and post-quantum cryptography (PQC): Integrating classical cryptography with quantum principles to counter quantum threats effectively.

Data communication, parametric sensing, and power transmission are the three cornerstone functions of wireless technology. Traditionally, these functions have been independently supported by specialized RF and wireless transceivers. However, recent advancements in transceiver architecture research have driven the emergence of innovative system solutions characterized by low power consumption, self-adaptive capabilities, and scalable integration. In future intelligent systems, the fusion of multiple wireless functions will fundamentally transform transceiver design frameworks. This integration promises enduring benefits, including architectural unification, system simplification, miniaturization, and reconfigurability. It also offers enhancements in efficiency, functional interplay, and cost-effectiveness. This presentation explores cutting-edge advancements and developments in multifunction transceivers and system integrations spanning frequencies from MHz to THz. It provides a comprehensive review of state-of-the-art linear and non-linear interferometric techniques, focusing on their application in multi-band and multi-structure transceiver hardware. Key concepts such as circuit-antenna unification, orthogonal mode control, full-duplex, and virtual transceiver matrix are discussed in depth. Theoretical insights are complemented by experimental demonstrations, including implementations in CMOS integrated circuits, contextualized within contemporary wireless systems like 5G, 6G, IoT, and beyond. The presentation also highlights critical research directions for advancing multifunctional wireless systems and technologies. Register here: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/462045
