ABSTRACT:
A quantum cryptography system [100]may include a transmitter [110]configured to generate entangled first and second photons, modulate and detect the first photon, and transmit detection information and the second photon. The system [100]may also include a receiver [160]configured to modulate the second photon. The receiver [160]may also be configured to detect the second photon based on the detection information.
