← ScienceWhich consequence impedes high-fidelity quantum key distribution through entangled photons in free-space?
A)Decoherence reduces entanglement fidelity✓
B)Dispersion increases pulse broadening
C)Diffraction limits receiver aperture
D)Absorption generates thermal blooming
💡 Explanation
Decoherence causes entanglement degradation because environmental interactions disrupt superposition, therefore lowering key transmission security, rather than dispersion or diffraction, which affect signal strength differently. The loss of initial phase relationship during decoherence limits applications.
