    How are beam splitters used in security monitoring

    Quantum Key Distribution (QKD): Beam splitters are used in QKD protocols like BBM92, where they act as passive switches for secure communication. These devices ensure the security of key exchange by leveraging quantum mechanical principles such as superposition. A beam splitter or beamsplitter is an optical device that splits a beam of light into a transmitted and a reflected beam. The impact of optical beam splitters on the security of quantum key distribution was studied, and it was found that the realistic device characteristics closely influence the error rate introduced by the. Beamsplitters are key instruments deployed across various fields, such as interferometry and optics. They are found in different configurations and can be used in multiple applications. However, how they work exactly often remains overlooked.
