Quantum Key Distribution Experiment

Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is a secure method for sharing encryption keys using principles of quantum physics. In a typical experiment, particles like photons are used to transmit the key information. Due to quantum mechanics, measuring these particles changes their state, alerting parties if an eavesdropper intercepts the message. This process ensures that any attempt at intrusion is detected, maintaining the key’s security. QKD leverages the unique properties of quantum particles to create an unbreakable communication link, making data exchanges highly secure against hacking or interception.
