Which mechanism disrupts secure quantum key distribution when atmospheric birefringence fluctuates rapidly?

💡 Explanation

Photon decoherence causes bit errors during QKD because atmospheric birefringence changes polarization; therefore link security is compromised, rather than maintaining ideal lossless entanglement due to static refraction conditions, impacting the security of the channel.
