← ScienceWhich fundamental risk arises when distributing entangled photons via optical fiber?
A)Decoherence degrades quantum information✓
B)Dispersion broadens temporal pulse width
C)Attenuation reduces photon detection rate
D)Modal birefringence alters polarization state
💡 Explanation
Decoherence occurs because interaction with the fiber environment disturbs the entangled state, causing loss of quantum correlation rather than simple photon loss. Therefore, entanglement degrades information and correlations rather than just signal strength.
