← ScienceWhich consequence results when attempt to read state one entangled photon disturbs second photon's correlations?
A)Compromised key distribution in QKD✓
B)Increased power consumption in qubit
C)Reduced thermal stability of crystal
D)Amplified signal noise ratio overall
💡 Explanation
When measuring one of a pair of entangled photons, quantum entanglement dictates its correlated state is instantly influenced; measurement collapses wavefunction destroying the entanglement, affecting cryptographic key distribution. Therefore key distribution compromises, rather than the other outcomes that need physical, material instabilities.
