A Comparative Analysis of Quantum Entanglement Protocols: Evaluating Performance Metrics in Quantum Communication Systems

Abstract

Quantum communication technologies have emerged as a critical area of research due to their potential to revolutionize secure information transfer. This study evaluates various quantum entanglement protocols, focusing on their efficacy in optimizing quantum key distribution (QKD) frameworks. Conducting a series of empirical tests utilizing a bespoke experimental setup, we assessed five distinct protocols over several iterations. Our findings indicate that the protocol based on entanglement swapping achieved a notable improvement in both transmission speed and error rate reduction, with a p-value of 0.03, signifying statistical significance in performance over traditional methods. Furthermore, we explored the scalability of these protocols when implemented in real-world scenarios, highlighting their practical implications. The results provide a comprehensive insight into the current state of quantum communication and pave the way for further advancements.
