Keynote Speaker

• Prof. Hoi-Kwong Lo
  

  Prof. Hoi-Kwong Lo holds Canada Research Chair in Quantum Information at the University of Toronto.
  

  Prof. Lo had also been a Nominator for Nobel Prize in Physics, Kyoto Prize Basic Sciences, a Referee for Kilam Fellowship, Steacie Fellowship, NSERC Herzberg Medal and Editor, Member, Organizer of some of the most influential journals, committees and conferences.

  He was among the first to demonstrate the impossibility of a whole class of quantum cryptographic protocols including quantum bit commitment, thus correcting an erroneous long-held belief in the field. In a paper in "Science" he and H. F. Chau provided a proof of security of quantum key distribution, thus solving a long-standing problem.
