Abstract

Quantum cryptography offers novel ways for encryption and key distribution in a post-quantum world, using the properties of quantum mechanics. In this review paper, I will be looking into Quantum Key Distribution in detail. After short introductions to basic ideas of qubits, quantum gates, quantum teleportation, and important results in quantum computation, we explore the inner workings of Quantum Key Distribution protocols, such as the BB84 Protocol, BBM92 Protocol, and Ekert91 Protocol.
