Explain the general structure of a prepare and measure protocol in quantum key distribution.
Saturday, 26 August 2023
by EITCA Academy
A prepare and measure protocol is a fundamental concept in quantum key distribution (QKD), which is a cryptographic technique that uses the principles of quantum mechanics to securely distribute cryptographic keys between two parties. In a prepare and measure protocol, the sender (Alice) prepares quantum states and sends them to the receiver (Bob), who measures
