← ScienceWhich inaccuracy affects entangled photon QKD despite perfect correlation?
A)Polarization basis alignment discrepancy✓
B)Spontaneous parametric down-conversion ratio
C)Detector quantum efficiency mismatches
D)Fiber optic modal dispersion limit
💡 Explanation
Detector inefficiencies affect all qubits and can be calibrated; polarization basis relative alignments introduce errors because the photons are entangled, so even perfect correlation can produce decryption errors with the Polarization basis alignment discrepancy mechanism; therefore, polarization must remain aligned, rather than dispersion or ratios being significant.
