← ScienceWhich consequence results when precise detector alignment disrupts fragile entangled photons used in quantum encryption?
A)Photons decohere, destroying key exchange✓
B)Increased signal-to-noise enabling decryption
C)Receiver calibration becomes exponentially faster
D)Entanglement swapping creates stronger encryption
💡 Explanation
The photons decohere destroying the quantum key exchange because misalignment introduces interactions with the environment, causing wavefunction collapse via quantum decoherence, therefore scrambling the shared key rather than improving security.
