One-use encryption keys, so called one-time pads (OTPs), are the only encryption method that is theoretically unbreakable. While the secure exchange of OTPs is difficult, synchronized chaotic systems are a promising method to generate and distribute them at unprescedented rates.

Reservoir computers are large-scale neural networks that are powerful tools for tasks such as prediction of extreme weather phenomena, prediction of stock markets, speech and pattern recognition, robotics or digital signal processing.

Data transmission based on speckle patterns in multimode fibers is a new generation of optical data transmission systems. By using the hundreds of transmission modes in multimode glass fibers, they can achieve significantly higher data throughput than today's systems.
