About the Speaker
Dr Raymond Smith is a Senior Research Scientist and the Security Team Leader at Toshiba Europe Ltd in Cambridge. His research focusses on the implementation security of quantum key distribution and the development of high-speed, on-chip quantum random number generators.
Toshiba is a world leader in the design and manufacture of advanced electronics and information and communications systems. Their Cambridge Research Laboratory is a world-leading industrial research centre and a vital part of their worldwide research and development network. The laboratory collaborates openly with leading universities and small companies across Europe. It is responsible for a number of significant world-first developments and the results of its research are already finding their way into new Toshiba products. Toshiba’s solutions underpin the world’s first quantum-secured metro network, and they have created a quantum-secure communication platform that makes existing data-carrying networks safe from attack by quantum computers, without any compromise to performance.
Raymond studied Natural Sciences at the University of Cambridge, before completing an MRes in Integrated Photonic and Electronic Systems split between UCL and the University of Cambridge to broaden his expertise. He then returned to the University of Cambridge for his PhD, during which he conducted research on quantum random number generators at Toshiba’s Cambridge Research Lab. He then went on to join Toshiba as a Research Scientist.
