A look back at the Colloquium of the Collège de France devoted to deciphering in this year of the bicentenary of Champollion. From hieroglyphics to DNA via quantum cryptography, how to crack the codes to decipher our strangers?
In this year of the bicentenary of the deciphering of hieroglyphs by Champollion, let us ask ourselves about the art and the way of penetrating the mystery of ancient writings, of cracking codes and designing inviolable ones… And if it were in our DNA? Why and especially how to decipher the worlds?
Program around the Collège de France back-to-school conference Decryption(s): from hieroglyphs to DNA with Jean-Luc Fournetpapyrologist, specialist in the protobyzantine period (4th-7th centuries) and professor at the Collège de France, and Elena Diamondsspecialist in quantum cryptography, research fellow at the CNRS, Sorbonne University Computer Science Laboratory and Paris Center for Quantum Computing.
