← ScienceWhich risk increases during quantum key distribution when eavesdropping introduces decoherence via entanglement?
A)Increased computational post-processing demands
B)Compromised key with detectable errors✓
C)Signal amplification vulnerability increases
D)Polarization drift leads to decryption
💡 Explanation
Eavesdropping attempts introduce errors because measurement by the eavesdropper enforces state decoherence on entangled photons transmitted between endpoints; therefore key is compromised rather than remaining secure, because errors are introduced that affect key indistinguishability.
