About this video
Every password, every message, every secret we send online is vulnerable. But what if there was a code that was truly unhackable, protected by the fundamental laws of physics? This is the promise of Quantum Cryptography.
In this video, we dive into the strange and fascinating world of quantum security. We'll explain how technologies like Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) use the bizarre principles of quantum mechanics to create a theoretically perfect secret code. But is it really 'unbreakable' in the real world?
We'll explore the science, the hype, and the limitations, applying the kind of critical thinking that renowned physicist Sabine Hossenfelder champions. Is this the future of cybersecurity, or is it another case of quantum gobbledygook?
