KEY DISTRIBUTION BASED ON QUANTUM FOURIER TRANSFORM

Abstract

The data dependencies brought about by the Quantum Fourier Transform can be harnessed to design novel key distribution protocols with improved performance. Such a protocol maximizes an eavesdropper’s uncertainty over the information transmitted, while amplifying the disturbance caused by the act of eavesdropping, thus offering better chances of detecting the intrusion. This is due to the fact that a tested qubit may reveal the presence of an eavesdropper even if that particular qubit was not ”touched” while in transit.
