Quantum cryptography: History, Applications, Measurement & Products

Quantum cryptography is the exploiting of quantum-mechanical properties such as quantum entanglement, measurement disturbance, no-cloning theorem, and the principle of superposition to perform encryption tasks. Quantum encryption plays a crucial role in the secure processing, storage, and transmission of information.
