Most of us have spent an inordinate amount of time over the past year in online conference calls, which are sure to become a regular feature in our lives. Recent events such as the ransomware attacks on US energy firms have highlighted more than ever the need for information security in such electronic forms of communication.
In a collaboration with the Mostly Quantum Lab at Heriot-Watt, we demonstrated the first quantum-secure conference call between four users. Using a multi-photon entangled GHZ state distributed over fiber-optic cables with a combined length of 50km, we built a secure key between four parties and used it to share an image of the Cheshire cat. It won’t be long before the first quantum-secure Zoom call!

You are apparently very knowledgeable in this area and I have found this to be interesting and intelligent reading. I learned a lot after reading this article about Quantum Conference Key Agreement.
