This work collects and expands "Kuantum Anahtar Dağıtımı: Bir Giriş", which is the 3rd place project from Quantum Programming Hackathon held by QTurkey in Ankara, 14-15 December 2019.

Said project, developed by Ali Durşen and Yusuf Behzat (@yusufbehzat), is a Turkish teaching material attempting to present a visual demonstration of BB84 quantum key distribution protocol. This expansion aims to add English language support, as well as formatting improvements.

Original submission can be found at Yusuf Behzat's GitHub, as well as in this folder (with minor changes) as QAD_demo.ipynb.

Developed using IBM's qiskit library for Python3, version 0.13.0. Depending on backwards compatibility, newer versions may work, no guarentees are given. Older versions fail due to backend incompatabilities.

No other external libraries are required.

On Demo-[LANGUAGE] notebook, run the first cell which imports necessary libraries and defines functions. When you're done studying the text, you can run the next cell with custom inputs if desired.

If you're extending language support, on DemoLanguages simply add translations of lines to each dictionary:

• a_lines: Lines by first party (Alice)
• b_lines: Lines by second party (Bob)
• c_lines: Common lines and explanations
• g_names: Global names variable, allowing for customization
• supported_languages: Set of supported languages.

For example, for creating French version, I'd need to add a list with index FR to all 4 dictionaries above, as well as adding 'FR' element to supported_languages. Note that lists are ordered. Where names are uttered, keep them enclosed in curly brackets, eg. {Bob}. In supported_languages, elements must be all capitalized and using ISO 639-1 language codings is recommended.

If you're extending protocol support, you can define new functions in DemoBasis and call them in your Demo-[LANGUAGE] notebook.

You can notify your students of customization options, or go with default values.
