Entanglement-Based QKD Protocols: E91 and BBM92
While prepare-and-measure QKD currently leads the market due to simplicity and higher key rates, entanglement-based QKD protocols like E91 and BBM92 are at the heart of next-generation quantum communications. Ongoing improvements in photonic technology are steadily closing the gap in performance. The additional security guarantees (e.g., tolerance of untrusted devices) and network capabilities (multi-user, untrusted relay) provided by entanglement make it a very attractive approach…

Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and the BB84 Protocol
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) represents a radical advancement in secure communication, utilizing principles from quantum mechanics to distribute cryptographic keys with guaranteed security.Unlike classical encryption, whose security often relies on the computational difficulty of certain mathematical problems, QKD's security is based on the laws of physics, which are, as far as we know, unbreakable.
