Publication SpotlightTracking down data pirates in quantum channels using localized sound waves
Our modern information society is highly dependent on secure communication channels. The idea of encryption is to hide the original message by applying complex mathematical routines on it, which are almost impossible to revert unless the underlying key is known. Quantum key distribution (QKD) offers an alternative concept relying on the laws of quantum mechanics. […]Our modern information society is highly dependent on secure communication channels.
