A Survey on Developments in Quantum Communication Networks

Dr. Basanti Ghanti, Shreya Venkatesh, Vaishnavi Shendre, Vajreshwari .

Abstract


Quantum communication and networking use the principle of quantum mechanics to develop secure and efficient communication networks. At the heart of this technology is Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), where two parties establish a common secret key, such that any passive eavesdropping is detected because of the disturbance introduced to the quantum states.
