Quantum Cryptography
In this chapter, I will explain the basics of quantum mechanics (Q-Mechanics) and quantum cryptography (Q-Cryptography). These topics require some knowledge of physics, modular mathematics, cryptography, and logic.
Q-Mechanics deals with phenomena that are outside the range of an ordinary human’s experience. So, it might be difficult for most people to understand and believe this theory. We will start by introducing the bizarre world of Q-Mechanics, and then examining Q-Cryptography, which is a direct consequence of this theory.
We will also analyze quantum computing and Shor’s algorithm. Shor’s algorithm is quite complex, so I have divided it into five steps: initializing the qubits, choosing a random number, performing ...
