Second part of the JRC series (EUR 29017 EN, Lewis and Travagnin) examining quantum communications, with emphasis on quantum key distribution as the most mature application. It explains how QKD reveals eavesdropping during key exchange, notes that commercial systems already exist, discusses the threat that a general-purpose quantum computer poses to current public-key cryptography, and analyses the resulting policy implications for privacy, security and European industry.
