01 / Overview

Quantum key distribution utilizes the properties of quantum mechanics to ensure communication security. It enables both parties in communication to generate and share a random, secure key to encrypt and decrypt messages.

02 / How visitors use it

The unit is designed for unsupervised public use: controls are recessed or shielded, moving parts are enclosed, and the interface is operable by a child of about six with no instruction. Where a screen is used, the language can be switched without changing the hardware, and the content can be replaced on site.

03 / The science behind it

The biggest role of quantum communication currently is to use quantum key distribution for secure communication networks. Quantum key distribution utilizes the properties of quantum mechanics to ensure communication security. It enables both parties in communication to generate and share a random, secure key to encrypt and decrypt messages. One of the most important and unique properties of quantum key distribution is that if a third party attempts to eavesdrop on the password, the dual convenience of communication will be detected. In 1984, Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard proposed the quantum key distribution scheme, which was the first quantum cryptographic protocol and was known as the BB84 protocol. The BB84 protocol is a quantum key protocol proposed by Bernnett and Brassard in 1984. According to the BB84 protocol, once quantum communication information is stolen, it will be compromised.

04 / Built for a public floor

Every unit leaves the factory after a running test: mechanisms cycled, electronics burned in, edges dressed, fixings torqued and marked. Wear parts — bearings, sliders, lamps, belts, touch panels — are modular and listed on the spare-part sheet, so a venue technician can replace them without returning the exhibit. Crating is plywood with foam blocking; the loading plan and packing list travel with the shipment.
