Johannes Handsteiner explains the principles of quantum key distribution (QKD) and why – in theory – it is significantly safer than classical secure communication protocols. While working at the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI) in Vienna, Austria, Handsteiner tested a form of QKD based on entangled photons.
