Quantum cryptography

Quantum cryptography

  1. Quantum cryptographic devices typically employ individual photons of light and take advantage of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle
  2. Quantum cryptography, or quantum key distribution (QKD), uses quantum mechanics to guarantee secure communication.
  3. Quantum computing and quantum cryptography are new fields based on quantum mechanics which takes place in Hilbert space.
