Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) represents a groundbreaking advancement in secure communication, leveraging the principles of quantum mechanics to enable two parties to generate a shared, secret key that can be used for encrypted communication. One of the most widely studied and implemented QKD protocols is the BB84 protocol, introduced by Bennett and Brassard in 1984.
