The goal of this summer institute is to discuss the new challenges in communication
theory from a mathematical viewpoint. The lectures will be focused on 4 main directions:
  • Computational algebra
  • Coding theory
  • Cryptography
  • Quantum coding and cryptography
We intend to provide the mathematical background and tools for young researchers who
want to enter this exiting area.
