论文摘要
随着量子计算机的快速开发，当前安全的加密协议可能不会保持这种状态。量子力学提供了创建固有安全的通信通道的手段，该通道受到物理定律的保护，而不是通过某些数学问题的计算硬度来保护。本文是量子密钥分布的非技术概述，量子密钥分布是量子密码学的最著名应用之一，一种旨在直接利用量子力学定律的密码学。
With the rapid development of quantum computers the currently secure cryptographic protocols may not stay that way. Quantum mechanics provides means to create an inherently secure communication channel that is protected by the laws of physics and not by the computational hardness of certain mathematical problems. This paper is a non-technical overview of quantum key distribution, one of the most well-known application of quantum cryptography, a type of cryptography poised to exploit the laws of quantum mechanics directly.
