Big future predicted for quantum
cryptography
The primary quality that makes quantum cryptography special is the security provided by the use of qubits backed by Heisenberg's principle of uncertainty.
The primary quality that makes quantum cryptography special is the security provided by the use of qubits backed by Heisenberg's principle of uncertainty Millions of these qubits are generated by the single photon generation sources but a large number of bits are lost along the way, resulting in periodic loss of information

Engineers and technicians must be trained
Leading UK engineering and technology firms, with a combined multi-million pound spend on training and development, will assemble at the IEE 'Investing in Technical Teams' forum on 4 November 2004.
Currently, the bitrate is very low, hovering around a few thousands of bits per second.
This could be used in small-scale secure communications between two or more people, but for real-time communication, this could be inadequate or could be used as the starting phase for another cryptographic system.
To enhance the bitrate, technology developers will have to improve the sources of single and entangled photons, single photons on demand, and all oth
