About Christopher A Vasko
Christopher A Vasko his MSc in Applied Physics (focus on surface and solid state physics) and went on to obtain his PhD from Eindhoven University of Technology, where his research focussed on cold atmospheric pressure plasmas. During his PhD, he acted as the Treasurer and later as Chair of globally operating NGO non-profit, the Space Generation Advisory Council.
He first joined the European Space Agency in it's Political Affairs office in the Strategy department, working to support the Agency especially in coordination with political decision makers. Christopher recently found his way back to science and engineering when he changed roles to work at the European Space Research and Technology Centre in Noordwijk, as a Optical and Quantum Innovation Engineer.

- What is the lecture "Quantum Snake Oil - What Alielments can it cure?"?
- This presentation by Christopher A Vasko at the Quantum Security Defence World Symposium covers key concepts, challenges, and developments in quantum key distribution, quantum satellite communications, quantum cyber security.
- What is quantum key distribution?
- Quantum key distribution uses quantum mechanics to exchange cryptographic keys securely. Any interception disturbs the quantum states and is detectable, providing information-theoretic security.
- What is quantum satellite communications?
- Quantum satellite communications uses satellites to distribute entangled photons or quantum keys across long distances, extending secure quantum networks beyond terrestrial fibre range.
