Quantum Key Distribution Protocols

#physics #cryptography #security #quantum-mechanics

Explain the mechanics and security implications of Quantum Key Distribution.

Explain the underlying principles of Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), specifically focusing on the BB84 protocol. Your explanation should be suitable for an audience with a background in classical computer science but limited knowledge of quantum mechanics. Describe how the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle and the No-Cloning Theorem contribute to the security of the key exchange. Discuss practical challenges in implementing QKD over fiber optic networks, including photon loss and decoherence.
