Quantum key distribution uses the ability of quantum physics to provide evidence of surveillance. Rather than making it impossible to intercept the key,
the security of the transmission itself really shouldn matter. There has been some promising research in this field it not to be confused with the much more preliminary work on using quantum entanglement to transfer information in such a way that it literally does not traverse the intervening space.
Regardless, one of the big problems with implementing quantum key distribution is that the optical technology necessary to get these surveillance-aware signals from sender to recipient just aren there.
since creating photon with precise attributes is the whole source of quantum security. So, unless youe less than one quantum dot range away from the person you want to talk to,
quantum security wouldn work; a theoretical quantum repeater would insert too much uncertainty about the wavelength of any light it ferried Along with this technology,
This should allow the re-emission of quantum key information in a reliable-enough form to preserve the quantum security setup.
