‘Beautiful Idea’ Eliminates Middleman in Quantum Communication

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
COLLEGE STATION, Texas, April 23, 2013 — Information can now be exchanged between two parties without any physical particles traveling between them, essentially eliminating the middleman in quantum communication, a new study has found. In quantum physics, objects can be in more than one place at a time, and future events can change the past. New research out of Texas A&M University has discovered an “almost psychic communication” that could play a major role in communication security. “Right now, this is a new, beautiful idea,” said M. Suhail Zubairy, a professor in the department of physics...Read full article

    quantum key distribution
    Quantum key distribution (QKD) is a method of secure communication that utilizes principles from quantum mechanics to establish a shared secret key between two parties, typically referred to as Alice and Bob, while detecting any potential eavesdropping attempts by a third party, commonly known as Eve. The fundamental principle behind QKD is the use of quantum properties, such as the superposition principle and the no-cloning theorem, to enable the distribution of cryptographic keys in a...
