Quantum key distribution can provide provably secure communication, but every security proof rests on physical and mathematical assumptions that are often left implicit.
In this talk, I will examine what these assumptions actually are, why they matter, and how questioning them opens the door to stronger and more broadly applicable security guarantees.
