Introduction to Q-Mechanics and Q-Cryptography

So far in this book, the kind of cryptography we have analyzed always followed the laws of logic and rigorous mathematical canons. Now, we are approaching it with a different logic. We are leaving the logic of classical mathematics and landing in a new dimension where the classical physical events, as we know, are completely different and, in many cases, counterintuitive.

We have to face off with a kind of science that Niels Bohr (one of the fathers of Q-Mechanics) said this about: “Anyone who can contemplate quantum mechanics without getting dizzy hasn’t understood it.” Einstein’s divergence defined the entanglement theory as a phantasmatic theory.

A couple of preliminary considerations about Q-Cryptography and Q-Mechanics are as follows:

  • All the cryptography you have learned about until now, even the most evolute, robust, and sophisticated, relies on two elements:
    1. The difficulty...
