Quantum Secure Communication

Q: What is Quantum Secure Communication?

Quantum secure communication is a family of communication methods that use quantum-mechanical properties of light or matter to establish or protect cryptographic keys and data channels against interception by classical or quantum-capable adversaries. Expanded Explanation 1. Technical Function and Core Characteristics Quantum secure communication uses quantum phenomena such as superposition, entanglement, and the no-cloning theorem to protect confidentiality and key establishment.
