Abstract:

This third semi-annual report explores the field of quantum communications, focusing on technologies that promise to secure information in an era when quantum computers pose a significant threat to classical encryption. It examines quantum threats, quantum key distribution (QKD), and post-quantum cryptography (PQC), highlighting their unique contributions to improving security. The section emphasizes both the current applications and limitations of these technologies, including practical deployment challenges and scalability concerns. Additionally, it examines the ongoing debate between QKD and PQC. By addressing both the advancements and the barriers in these fields, it provides a comprehensive view of the future of quantum-safe communication.
