Quantum Communication System Modeling

This modeling tool simulates Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) systems, which enable secure communication based on quantum mechanics. It includes a comprehensive analysis of the physical layer, such as photon transmission, noise sources, and detection techniques, while also simulating practical effects like channel loss, noise, and eavesdropping strategies. The tool provides insights into key QKD protocols, such as BB84, and enables users to model and optimize system parameters to maximize security and key rate. Perfect for researchers, network engineers, and security specialists working on quantum-secure communication systems.
