KURT LENTZ
CRYPTOGRAPHER.
QUANTUM CRYPTOGRAPHY.
Kurt Isaac Lentz, PhD in Quantum Mechanics and Physics with emphasis on Cryptography.
A moderately tall gentleman of 6’3”. Physically fit but not muscle bound.
Loves running and a good game of squash.
Spends most of his time working through the mathematical properties of matrix algebras.
Curious. Idealizes Werner Heisenberg, and shares a lineage connected to the eminent physicist—something he never ever discusses.
He is modest in his manner but usually well attired.
A touch of gray at his temples gives him an air of distinction.
A solitary individual except for collaborating with colleagues.
Single by choice. At 45 he has little time to dedicate to another, feeling it would be unfair to a woman—and even worse for his work.
To unwind he plays chess.
Always admired the games of Bobby Fischer and Magnus Carlsen.
Nowhere near a master, achieving a 2200 rating—respectable, given the limited time he plays.
An erudite memory and good insight serve him well.
He could have been a grandmaster if he had chosen that path.
But his love is cryptography.
