Moore¿s Law dictates that during the forthcoming decades, new communications and computing technologies that exploit quantum mechanics will become generally available. To assist Communications Society members with this transition, we provide a pragmatic description of quantum communications theory that introduces the quantum mechanical properties of polarization and entanglement, which do not have analogs in classical communications theory. We show plausible examples of how these quantum properties may be exploited to create noisefree channels and to improve channel utilization for distributed MAC protocols. Finally, we describe how entanglement is used to enhance security and improve key distribution efficiency in symmetric-key cryptography systems used by operational quantum cryptographic networks.
This thesis contains an overview of development in cryptography and its uses in everyday life through different models of encryption, also there are examples from history of cryptography such as the Greek model, Cesar’s code and the mechanical cryptography device called Enigma. Using cryptography models such as symmetrical algorithms and asymmetrical algorithms it is shown what performances they have and also how they are used in program logic. The basic principles of quantum mechanics are introduced to describe fundamental physical properties on which quantum cryptography rests. The theoretical principals of quantum cryptography are shown from the aspect of achieving quantum communication, how one can establish that kind of communication with modern technology and why it is impossible to successfully eavesdrop someone from the aspect of quantum physics, or better said in the case of eavesdropping in a quantum communication channel the eavesdropper would be easily and quickly detected. The role of quantum key distribution in process of cryptography is explained and their task in the whole process is shown. In the methodical segment of this thesis preparations are shown which the professor of informatics can use as a helpful tool that will make understanding of cryptography easier for his students while the students work on seminars with different themes in cryptography and the cryptography realization through program code.
Quantum Cryptography is based on the use of subatomic particles (photons) and their intrinsic quantum properties (photon polarization) to develop an unbreakable system. It is not possible to measure the quantum state of any system without affecting the system. This property provides secure transmission of key between sender and receiver. Quantum Cryptography is a way to combine the relative ease and convenience of key exchange in public key cryptography with the ultimate security of a one-time pad. Quantum techniques for key distribution, the classically impossible task of distributing secret information over an insecure channel whose transmissions are subject to inspection by an eavesdropper, between parties who share no secret key initially. Quantum Cryptography uses the principles of Quantum Mechanics to implement a cryptographic system. The key problem which is solved by using quantum techniques is that of eavesdropping detection. The bits are represented as qubits, physically modeled by photons, and communicated over a quantum channel. The polarization states of photons represent 0's and 1's.

Quantum communication is a rapidly evolving field that leverages quantum physics to enable secure and efficient information exchange. A cornerstone of quantum cryptography is Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), a secure key exchange mechanism that ensures the confidentiality of transmitted data by employing the no-cloning theorem and the uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics. This study explores key aspects of quantum networks and communication, including quantum states, QKD, and quantum cryptographic protocols, with a focus on photon polarization states and entangled qubits as fundamental building blocks of quantum information. Additionally, two well-established quantum cryptographic protocols, BB84 and E91, are analyzed for their principles and advantages in secure communication. However, challenges such as quantum state loss in communication channels hinder the long-distance transmission of quantum information. To address these issues, error detection, measurement, and correction techniques are investigated, with quantum error correction methods playing a crucial role in mitigating noise and imperfections, ensuring accurate quantum information transmission, and enhancing the overall efficiency of quantum communication systems. Beyond conventional networks, quantum communication holds vast potential for cybersecurity applications, paving the way for next-generation secure communication frameworks.
