← ScienceWhich mechanism limits coherent data transmission distance utilizing entangled photons?
A)Fiber attenuation reduces fidelity
B)Quantum decoherence collapses superpositions✓
C)Polarization drift scrambles correlation
D)Dispersion broadens pulse arrival times
💡 Explanation
Quantum decoherence limits transmission distance because interaction with the environment causes loss of the delicate phase correlation, and entangled states collapse, therefore destroying the qubits rather than merely attenuating the signal as in classical systems.
