Conference on "The Mathematics of Post-Quantum Cryptography", December 4 - 5, 2024

Post-Quantum cryptography is a branch of public-key cryptography aiming to design
cryptographic schemes building on mathematical problems that are conjectured to be hard
to solve on both, classical and quantum computers. Such cryptographic schemes are needed
since Shor's quantum algorithms break classical public-key cryptography based on the
discrete logarithm problem (in finite fields or elliptic curves) as well as integer factoring in polynomial

"Hot Topics" Conference on "Quantum Topology", May 12 - 16, 2025

The discovery of polynomial invariants of knots by Jones sparked the study of quantum topology in the late 80s and 90s. Work over the last two decades has led to deeper understanding of the mathematical structures behind these invariants. Broadly, we have gained a deeper understanding of how they relate to the geometric and number theoretic properties of three-manifolds. In this conference, we will explore some of these recent advances surrounding work of Garoufalidis and collaborators.
