Abstract

The Quantum Entanglement lies at the heart of the new field of quantum communication and computation. Recently, quantum information theory has shown the tremendous importance of quantum correlations for the formulation of new methods of information transfer and for algorithms exploiting the capabilities of quantum computers. This paper describes the application and the importance of the multi-particle entangled states in secure communication scenarios. We show how to make communication secure against eavesdropping using entanglement-based quantum communication, and how to apply this communication protocols in real life situations.
