About this video
In this episode of Qiskit in the Classroom, Katie McCormick will discuss quantum key distribution (QKD) and its role in creating nearly foolproof encryptions. Sheβll walk you through how the protocol works, how it protects against undetected eavesdroppers, then show you how to run QKD on a real quantum computer.
