* Although Shannon is primarily known for classical information theory, his definition of entropy plays a crucial role in both quantum computing and quantum information theory. Shannon's entropy measures the uncertainty of a random variable, and this concept extends to quantum systems, forming the foundation for quantum information theory.

* Co-founder of the [BB84 protocol](), the first functional quantum cryptography system. The BB84 protocol is a [quantum key distribution] (QKD) protocol that allows two parties to [securely exchange cryptographic keys]() over a potentially insecure channel. The security of BB84 relies on the principles of quantum mechanics, particularly quantum superposition and the no-cloning theorem.
