  1. See this article about the implementation of quantum key distribution on the XO laptops from the One Laptop Per Child program: http://www.olpcaustria.org/mediawiki/index.php/Quantum_Cryptography

  2. The effect I mentioned in class today is the quantum spin Hall effect that was just recently discovered. A short blurb about it is here on p. 5.

  3. The CIA’s Kryptos sculpture presents an intriguing problem. Several proposed solutions exist.
