How do practical implementations of QKD systems differ from their theoretical models, and what are the implications of these differences for security?

Saturday, 15 June 2024 by EITCA Academy

Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) represents a significant advancement in cryptographic techniques, leveraging the principles of quantum mechanics to facilitate secure communication. The theoretical models of QKD systems are founded on idealized assumptions about the behavior of quantum systems and the capabilities of potential adversaries. However, practical implementations often diverge from these theoretical models due to
