Study on Quantum Key Distribution

Article Preview

Abstract:

Quantum key distribution (QKD) uses quantum mechanics to guarantee secure communication. It enables two parties to produce a shared random secret key known only to them, which can then be used to encrypt and decrypt messages. QKD is a research hotspot of international academia in recent years. We introduce some protocols: BB84 protocol, E91 protocol, SARG04 protocol.
