What’s recent in my life and on the site:
I will give a lecture at ID Quantique 4th winter school on practical quantum cryptography in January 2012. See you there!
September 2011. I visited Heriot-Watt university in Edinburgh :),
and Zurich. You can watch online my invited talk at the QCRYPT conference.
June 2011. The first ever fully-implemented eavesdropper on quantum cryptography has been published in Nature Communications. See picture page about our full evasdropping experiment. At this, I declare my 3-year postdoc term at NTNU finished with a reasonable success.
August 2010. Commercial quantum cryptography has been hacked. See our paper in Nature Photonics and
picture page about the crack, with links to press coverage at the end.
August 2009. At Hacking at Random, I’ve given a lecture and demoed our quantum eavesdropping equipment. Watch the video of 50 min long lecture on YouTube.
June 2009. Paper based on a significantly updated earlier preprint: V. Makarov, “Controlling passively quenched single photon detectors by bright light,” New J. Phys. 11, 065003 (2009).
September 2008. Preprint: V. Makarov, A. Anisimov, and S. Sauge, “Can Eve control PerkinElmer actively-quenched single-photon detector?”, arXiv:0809.3408 [quant-ph].
It has been covered in New Scientist,
in arXiv blog,
in Ars Technica,
and in Adresseavisen
(after that, I
have
discovered
that
most
media
and
blogs
often
copy
each
other).
See also our poster from SECOQC conference (PDF, 13.2 MiB).
June 2008. After a year in Korea, I am back to our group in Trondheim, NTNU. We’re going to do some hacking, err... research about real level of security of today’s quantum cryptosystems.

Research interests: quantum cryptanalysis and quantum cryptography.
I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Quantum Hacking group at NTNU.
