Quantum cryptography is a fascinating field that leverages the principles of quantum mechanics to secure communication. It ensures that any attempt to intercept the communication will be immediately detected. Here's a brief overview:
- Quantum Key Distribution (QKD): This is the core of quantum cryptography. It allows two parties to share a secret key in a way that ensures the key remains secret even if an eavesdropper tries to intercept it.
- Quantum Superposition: This principle allows a quantum bit (qubit) to exist in multiple states simultaneously, which is crucial for the security of quantum cryptography.
- Quantum Entanglement: This phenomenon allows two or more qubits to be correlated in such a way that the state of one qubit instantly influences the state of another, regardless of the distance between them.
