Quantum crypto only helps me exchange

Dear Cryptoexperts,
With
http://www.magiqtech.com/press/navajounveiled.pdf
and the general hype about quantum cryptography, I am bugged by
a question that I can't really solve. I understand the quantum
theory and how it makes it impossible for two parties to read the
same stream. However, what
I wonder if there are any mirrors of this out there?
Cheers,
RAH
