You give too little information for this to be understandable.
- rdtsc 2y agoThat's one of the fundamentals of quantum mechanics. How that works on the intuitive level, is still being debated. All the mathematics and the experimental results support that with an extremely high level confidence though. Not sure if a HN comment is a right to go back to the fundamentals here either, but I'll try again: reading the quantum information means to "measure it". Measurement alters the state of the system. If someone then "measures" it (i.e. "reads", i.e "eavesdrops"), the communicating parties will find out.
