Quantum Key Distribution- BB84 & E91 Protocol

This project involved the practical demonstration of the BB84 and E91 quantum key distribution (QKD) protocols using IBM’s quantum computer. Through hands-on experimentation, we explored the functionality and performance of these protocols, both with and without repeaters, to simulate the operation of a quantum network. By implementing these protocols on real quantum hardware, we gained valuable insights into the practical challenges and capabilities of quantum cryptography. The code can be found on GitHub.
