Current state of quantum cryptography innovation

- [Instructor] Quantum cryptography is available to use today. Several cyber security companies offer some basic quantum key distribution solutions. But on the leading edge where scale and sophisticated architecture is required, much innovation remains in an experimental phase. There are many different types of implementations, ranging from the basic structure as described in the last video, to the very complex, which is way beyond the scope of this course. In all instances, encryption and transmission techniques utilize the remarkable qualities of the quantum realm. Superposition and entanglement are central enablers. As different as quantum computing is from classical computing, quantum cryptography differs from contemporary methods. Both the fundamentals and the hardware required have considerable differences. In addition, while quantum computing moves forward, the challenges to progress are not trivial. For example,…
