Discrete-variable Quantum Key Distribution

Discrete-Variable Quantum Key Distribution is a quantum key distribution protocol that belongs to the class of quantum cryptographic methods wherein secure communication is established through the transmission of quantum information encoded in discrete degrees of freedom of quantum systems, such as photon polarization or phase, distinguishing it from continuous-variable approaches by its reliance on discrete Hilbert space measurements.
