Primes

• Entanglement
  • Quantum key distribution via the E91 protocol: The Ekert 1991 (E91) protocol uses entangled photon pairs to establish a cryptographic key between Alice and Bob.

    This sourceIntroduces the E91 entanglement-based quantum-key-distribution protocol in which Bell-inequality tests provide built-in eavesdropping detection — exactly the operational use described in the Applied/Industry example.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
