John Rarity
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John G. Rarity is Professor of optical communication systems in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Bristol, a post he has held since 1 January 2003.[1] He is an international expert on quantum optics, quantum cryptography and quantum communication using single photons and entanglement.
Rarity was at DERA for several years until moving to Bristol University in 2001. His team at DERA set a world record of 1.9 km range for free space secure key exchange using quantum cryptography (since broken).[2]
He has participated in experiments on Bell's inequality (quantum mechanics).
John Rarity has been associated with Malvern Fringe Festival.
