"How Quantum Computing Could Create Unbreakable Encryption and Save the Future of Cybersecurity"

In the latest issue of Science Advances, researchers at Duke University, The Ohio State University, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, have announced a new breakthrough in quantum computing in which they have significantly increased the speed of quantum key distribution (QKD) transmission. QKD uses particles of light known as photons to encode data in quantum bits, which are transmitted to a sender and receiver in the form of an encryption key. This article further discusses the increased speed of QKD transmission by researchers, the concept of QKD, and its contribution to cybersecurity.
