Program design for chip-based quantum key distribution (QKD)

Compared to conventional encryption, quantum cryptography is a more secure method of transferring information. One well-known use of quantum cryptography is quantum key distribution (QKD), which employs a no-cloning theorem to make it difficult to completely replicate an unknowable and unpredicta...
