All quantum cryptography does is make the photons you send tamper-evident. You can use it to establish a shared key that can't be snooped on, and then use that to communicate using ordinary symmetric cryptography. Of course, asymmetric crypto does this fine, so unless you are very suspicious of modern asymmetric crypto you probably don't need it.
