High-speed single-photon detection for quantum key distribution

The integrity of conventional cryptographic systems is placed upon the assumption of the inability of current computational power to generate the reversal of the cryptographic key generation algorithm. However, quantum key distribution utilises the principles of quantum mechanics to ensure secrecy....
