Simulation of some security tasks for secure telecommunications using a quantum-computing simulator in one of the quantum programming languages

Abstract

In Russia, as part of the implementation of the national program "Digital Economy of the Russian Federation", a roadmap for the development of the high-tech area "Quantum Communications" is being implemented since 2020. One of the most important elements that ensure the effective use of quantum communications are quantum key distribution protocols. These protocols must be resistant to known attacks on quantum communication channels, as well as to the possible appearance of quantum computers that implement threats to decrypt information.
