Mostly secure key exchange via quantum key distribution. QKD automatically detects eavesdropping and can thereby guarantee a secure key exchange based on fundamental physics. That's basically it.

So, superior security then? Seems good.

Yes, physically secure key exchange, but at Tage same time mist progress also correlates with progress in quantum computing and quantum attacks on classical crypto and most key security problems are not due to transport attacks. But its a good thing.
