== Position-based quantum cryptography ==

Line 31 ⟶ 41:

:The article does read as if the techniques are up and running everywhere, whereas much of this is still theoretical. For QKD I have added a citation needed tag to say where this can be found. [[User:Myrvin|Myrvin]] ([[User talk:Myrvin|talk]]) 12:39, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

:: That's because it doesn't work in the real world. [[Special:Contributions/98.194.39.86|98.194.39.86]] ([[User talk:98.194.39.86|talk]]) 15:45, 20 May 2017 (UTC)

== Post-quantum cryptography ==

:::perhaps we should just change verb tenses to remove these citation needed tags, since it seems the state of current research is not at the point indicated? see my recent edit for an example. changed "is used" to "could be used".

I have modified the entry about post-quantum cryptography. It was giving the impression that quantum cryptopgraphy could be broken by a quantum computer, which is of course not the case. The aim of post-quantum cryptography, in this usage of the term at least, is to find alternative _classical_ methods that are presumably secure against quantum computers. Quantum cryptography is obviously secure against adversaries with quantum computers, since those cannot violate the laws of quantum mechanics that are used to prove the security of QC.

== Question.... ==

Line 53 ⟶ 61:

:: I agree completely. Most of this article is pure science fiction, speculation and / or unproven theory. To treat it as fact is absurd. Lacking proof and citations, it should be removed or rewritten as theoretical. [[Special:Contributions/98.194.39.86|98.194.39.86]] ([[User talk:98.194.39.86|talk]]) 15:34, 20 May 2017 (UTC)

:::: I've read [https://www.cnbc.com/2017/08/10/china-uses-quantum-satellite-to-transmit-potentially-unhackable-data.html here] that China has already put quantum cryptography to use. 03:35, 16 August 2017 (UTC) <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/115.206.227.217|115.206.227.217]] ([[User talk:115.206.227.217#top|talk]]) </small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Peer Review for Brianna Kenney and Moonunit42 ==

I justed finished reading your article and it seemed like both of you made strong contributions to the article. The lead paragraph is concise, which is good but may want to include a sentence or two about some of the subcategories mentioned in the article. The last paragraph added to quantum key distribution added additional context and applications for the article, another strong edit. The sources look reliable for the additions to the quantum commitment section as well. Nothing was overstated or redundant. I enjoyed reading the article and learning about quantum cryptography! <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Davidbaror|Davidbaror]] ([[User talk:Davidbaror#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Davidbaror|contribs]]) 21:28, 9 December 2018 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== The misleading "Implementation_in_practice" should be renamed ==

[[Quantum_cryptography#Implementation_in_practice|The section Implementation in practice ]]

is the only section (supposedly) about implementations, yet it doesn't talk about any of them. It should be renamed to make way for a much-needed section "Implementations", and, perhaps, included in a subsection of that.
