Strengthening security and noise resistance in one-way quantum key distribution protocols through hypercube-based quantum walks
David Polzoni, Tommaso Bianchi, Mauro Conti
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is a foundational cryptographic protocol that ensures information-theoretic security. However, classical protocols such as BB84, though favored for t…
