Quantum cryptography, rooted in quantum mechanical principles, offers a paradigm shift in secure communication. The BB84 protocol exemplifies this approach, utilizing photon polarization for key distribution between Alice and Bob. Implemented within the motorized module, experimental setups provide hands-on exploration of cryptographic principles. Tasks encompass real-world considerations such as fiber loss and theoretical estimations for secure communication distance. By bridging theory and practice, these experiments deepen understanding while highlighting the challenges and opportunities in quantum cryptographic systems.
