The BB84 protocol and the six state protocol are two widely used quantum key distribution (QKD) protocols that ensure secure communication by exploiting the principles of quantum mechanics. While both protocols aim to establish a shared secret key between two parties, they differ in terms of the number of bases used for measurement. The BB84
