Which problem arises in quantum cryptography when photons experience decoherence?

💡 Explanation

Decoherence destroys quantum entanglement, a cornerstone of quantum key distribution; it increases the bit error rate using the BB84 protocol; therefore, a secure key exchange fails rather than successful key transfer or undetectable eavesdropping, because entanglement becomes degraded preventing correlation.
