In the field of quantum cryptography, specifically in the context of Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), the detection of an eavesdropper is a important aspect to ensure the security of the communication channel. QKD utilizes the principles of quantum mechanics to establish a secure key between two parties, Alice and Bob, by exploiting the properties of

The BB84 protocol plays a important role in Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) as a method for securely exchanging cryptographic keys between two parties. QKD is a fundamental concept in quantum cryptography that leverages the principles of quantum mechanics to establish secure communication channels. The BB84 protocol, named after its inventors Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard
