The BB-84 protocol, named after its inventors Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard in 1984, is a quantum key distribution (QKD) protocol that enables Alice and Bob to establish a shared secret key for secure communication. It is one of the most widely used QKD protocols due to its simplicity and security guarantees. In the BB-84

The setup in the teaching kit provides a practical implementation of Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) using the BB-84 protocol. QKD is a cryptographic technique that utilizes the principles of quantum mechanics to establish secure communication channels between two parties. The BB-84 protocol is a specific QKD protocol that ensures the secure distribution of cryptographic keys.
