3 Quantum Key Distribution: Security in the Age of Quantum Computers
Weakness Delivers Strong Security
Toshiba Digital Solutions Corporation
When quantum computers become common, today’ s codes will be easy to break. How can we protect our important information?
Quantum Key Distribution uses photons (tiny particles of light) to send keys. It only uses safe photons and ignores any that have been spied on. This way, even quantum computers can’ t break the communication.
Weak like a bubble, but strong because of it. Experience this system at our exhibit.

This work is inspired by a fundamental characteristic of quantum cryptographic communication: observation irreversibly alters the quantum state. Any attempt at eavesdropping or interference leaves a trace, making secure transmission possible. At its core lies a notion of information and existence that remains undefined until witnessed — emerging only through interaction. By visualizing the physical forms of 0 and 1 and the shifting light that moves between them, the work explores the ambiguity preceding certainty and the coexistence of multiple overlapping possibilities—behaviors unique to the quantum world.
