Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) requires special (expensive) hardware, so it really doesn’t solve the problem of key size.
Moreover, QKD still requires an authenticated channel, so we’ll still need a quantum-resistant authentication scheme.
(All in all, QKD does not have a singular use case)

- feverzsj 3y agoWhat about a highspeed quantum channel to transfer all the data?
- etna_ramequin 3y agoStill requires special hardware and authentication, AFAICT. Plus, you often have got length (hundreds of km) and connection constraints (e.g., only over fibre optic).
