What is quantum security?

Quantum security refers to the use of principles from quantum physics to enhance or guarantee the security of information systems. This field includes quantum cryptography, such as quantum key distribution (QKD), which leverages the properties of quantum mechanics to detect eavesdropping and ensure secure communication. Quantum security is increasingly important as quantum computers have the potential to break many classical cryptographic algorithms. Professionals in this area work to develop new cryptographic techniques and secure systems against quantum-enabled threats.
