A Quick Guide to Quantum Communication

Abstract

This article provides a quick overview of quantum communication, bringing together several innovative aspects of quantum enabled transmission. We first take a neutral look at the role of quantum communication, presenting its importance for the forthcoming wireless. Then, we summarise the principles and basic mechanisms involved in quantum communication, including quantum entanglement, quantum superposition, and quantum teleportation. Further, we highlight its groundbreaking features, opportunities, challenges and future prospects.
