1. Introduction

As the digital landscape continues to evolve, secure communication and transaction have become more critical than ever. Classical encryption methods, while robust, are increasingly vulnerable to the emerging threat of quantum computing. Quantum cryptography offers a revolutionary approach to secure communication, leveraging the principles of quantum mechanics to achieve unbreakable encryption. However, the inherent complexities and challenges of quantum communication require advanced tools for optimization and protection.

This is where Artificial Intelligence (AI) comes in. By integrating AI with quantum cryptographic systems, we can enhance security protocols, automate anomaly detection, and ensure the seamless functionality of quantum networks. This paper introduces a hybrid framework that combines the predictive power of AI with the inviolable security of quantum mechanics. The proposed system aims to establish a new standard for secure communication by addressing vulnerabilities, enhancing error correction, and detecting potential threats in real time.

Through this fusion of quantum cryptography and AI, the project lays the foundation for a secure, scalable, and intelligent communication network designed to meet the demands of the quantum era.
