Elham Kashefi (Persian: الهام کاشفی) is a Professor of Computer Science and Personal Chair in quantum computing at the School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh, and a Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) researcher at the Sorbonne University.[3] She is known as one of the inventors of blind quantum computing.[4] Her work has included contributions to quantum cryptography, verification of quantum computing, and cloud quantum computing.[1][5]
A very strong crossover into the world of quantum communications and distributed quantum networks. It's led by Elham Kashefi and she was one of the inventors of blind quantum computing, which is a very important...application between..early quantum computing and early quantum security.
