← ScienceWhich signal degradation hampers secure entangled quantum key distribution?
A)Decoherence overwhelms the entanglement fidelity✓
B)Superposition collapses during signal propagation
C)Uncertainty principle obscures key derivation
D)Non-locality increases eavesdropping opportunities
💡 Explanation
Decoherence degrades entanglement's ability to establish identical key pairs because environmental interactions disrupt the superimposed states. Fidelity decays; therefore, error correction cannot compensate, rather than eavesdropping being the primary vulnerability, as quantum protocols are designed to detect precisely that.
