Quantum Cryptography

A curated set of articles and research explaining how quantum mechanics is reshaping encryption — from quantum key distribution to the race toward post-quantum security.

About this collection

Quantum cryptography applies the laws of quantum mechanics — superposition, entanglement, and the no-cloning theorem — to build communication channels that reveal any eavesdropping attempt. The resources below cover the fundamentals, how they differ from post-quantum cryptography, and real-world research pushing the distance and reliability of quantum-secured links.
