Quantum Encryption code Cracked. Oh Dear!

That machine behind these geeks is 'Eve', a code-breaking parlance for 'eavesdropper'
The researchers have used Eve to crack a type of coded communication called quantum key distribution (QKD), thought to have been impossible to break.
It goes something like this. QKD exploits a key principle in quantum physics - you can't measure or examine individual photons of light without altering their state.
Eve does it all with lights - a laser to be precise, to fake the photon in transit.zzzzzzz
