These lectures are an introduction to the interplay between quantum information and cryptography; with a focus on the areas where security is achieved against unbounded adversaries. Topics include:
-Wiesner Quantum Money
-Impossibility of quantum bit commitment -Secure delegated quantum computation -"Sampling in a Quantum Population"
-Quantum Key Distribution
-Quantum Certified Deletion
