Quantum Cryptography is a really expensive way to provide link encryption that is perhaps marginally better in some theoretical sense to simply using, say, AES link encryption boxes at both ends, but in day to day practice provides no additional security at all. It is the sort of thing that fascinates people who are interested in neat solutions that solve no real problems. In the real world, the issue is not finding cryptographic mechanisms that are good enough. We have fine algorithms for securing links already. It is getting people to use them, and getting programmers not to misuse them or make other mistakes that render them moot.
