Nar I get that. My point is what's the point of transferring quantum information. The only advantage I can see is doing a single quantum computation via decentralised nodes that are a significant distance from each other. But by the nature of quantum computations its not a useful thing to do.
This is for communication, not computation or even cryptography. The point in transferring it this way is so as to maintain the unseen property of the photon.
Bro, read. It's literally in his comment.
If the data is intercepted, the receiver knowns. It's a huge advantage.
Prevents MITM attacks. Stops em dead in the tracks.
Detect the compromise before transmission of the data.
