Abstract

QKD (quantum key distribution) is core of quantum communication, it is not only the most extensive range of applications, and can also be served as a basis for other branches. In this paper, the theoretical basis and the basic idea of quantum key distribution has been described. Focus on several quantum key distribution schemes which are representative, some analysis and researches have been proposed. And sum up the pros and cons of these schemes after comparison.
