The idea behind quantum crypto is that two people communicating using a quantum channel can be absolutely sure no one is eavesdropping. Heisenberg's uncertainty principle requires anyone measuring a quantum system to disturb it, and that disturbance alerts legitimate users as to the eavesdropper's presence. No disturbance, no eavesdropper . The link for this article located at Wired.com is no longer available. . Quantum cryptography revolutionizes secure communication using quantum mechanics to protect information. It employs quantum entanglement and qubits, making eavesdropping nearly impossible..
