QKD-Messaging

A quantum field simulation built in Python, translating a theoretical quantum cryptography algorithm into working code — key generation, transmission, error detection, and eavesdropping-detection procedures.

The physics simulations were optimized for faster computational times by vectorizing with NumPy and caching intermediate states.

PyCryptodome powers a new technique of cryptographic communication layered on the simulated quantum key exchange.

This work earned 2nd Place in Systems Software at both the Greater Austin and Texas Science and Engineering Fairs.
