Abstract

As the internet continues to expand, demands for efficient multi-data transmission and heightened security grow ever stronger. However, traditional point-to-point systems fall short in meeting the increasing requirements for secure links among multiple users. This is where the hybrid Quantum-classical network, a practical and economically viable solution, steps in to serve a larger user base within a limited resource framework. This paper delves into two mature protocols, namely BB84 and B92, which underpin the functionality of these hybrid networks. An examination and comparison of these protocols, based on their underlying logic and transmission simulations, will lay a solid foundation for the creation of the hybrid Quantum-classical network. The concept of the hybrid Quantum-classical network will be elaborated upon, primarily focusing on its performance in optical fiber to simulate real-life data transmission. The intention is to offer perceptive recommendations on the establishment of a Quantum-classical hybrid network, bearing in mind the distinct differences between the BB84 and B92 protocols. In effect, this paper aims to be a valuable resource in the journey towards meeting the future demands of data transmission and security through quantum-classical hybrid networks. It underscores the transition from theory to practice, turning quantum protocols into a tangible reality in our daily digital interactions.
