Quantum Key Distribution and the BB84 protocol

Intel co-founder Gordon Moore predicted in the sixties that transistor density on integrated circuits would double about every two years. This prediction has come to be known as Moore’s Law, and forty years later, it has held true. However, if Moore’s law is to hold true for the next forty years, computer chips must reach an atomic scale. Quantum Computing provides this atomic scale, thus it seems to be the next step for computers.

Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) provides a secure channel for the transmission of a private key securely by encoding and transmitting the keys via photons.
