Quantum crypto raises fundamental issues in physics.

But we aren't physicists.

Hey!

It isn't research any more. There are companies trying to *sell this*.

Please don't blame the physicists for that. It is still research, but someone is selling tincture of quantum physics in their snake-oil bottles. Too bad that may poison the market for a really useful development a few years from now, but it does help shake the money tree for research. And physics can use every dime it can get right now.
