By the end you'll be able to
- State the no-cloning theorem and use the linearity of quantum mechanics to explain why no device can copy an unknown quantum state.
- Walk through the BB84 protocol, from random bases and sifting to error estimation, and calculate why an intercept-resend eavesdropper produces a 25 percent error rate.
- Describe how teleportation transfers a qubit's state using one entangled pair and two classical bits, and explain why it moves no matter and sends nothing faster than light.
- Distinguish quantum cryptography from post-quantum cryptography and weigh the strengths and limits of each.
- Explain how atomic and optical clocks, atom interferometers, SQUIDs, nitrogen-vacancy magnetometers and squeezed light turn quantum sensitivity into record-breaking measurements.
- Outline how quantum repeaters would build a quantum internet, and where quantum networks stood as of 2026.
