← Q13 Q15 →

In the context of secure communications and recent technological demonstrations in India involving free-space Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), what is the primary role of the Quantum Bit Error Rate?

A To calculate the financial cost of deploying free-space optics across urban areas.
B To measure the physical weight and hardware capacity of optical transceivers.
C To replace classical internet protocols with satellite-based television broadcasting.
D To determine the percentage of erroneous bits in a quantum channel used to detect eavesdropping attempts.

Correct answer: (d) To determine the percentage of erroneous bits in a quantum channel used to detect eavesdropping attempts.

Explanation

Option D is correct because the Quantum Bit Error Rate represents the percentage of erroneous bits in a quantum channel, which helps in detecting eavesdropping. Options A, C, and D are incorrect descriptions unrelated to the function of error rates in quantum channels.
