Abstract

Quantum cryptography (QC), rooted in the principles of quantum mechanics, stands as a beacon of security, offering an unparalleled level of protection against quantum attacks. This exceptional attribute has spurred researchers from diverse scientific disciplines to actively collaborate in advancing the field toward practical implementation. Physicists, computer scientists, engineers, and mathematicians are collectively channeling their efforts, leading to a substantial body of research outcomes. Hence, through this study, we delve into comprehending the multidisciplinary research landscape of QC through scientometrics. Here, we analyze the research outcomes in QC to discern its pattern in terms of publications and citations. Additionally, we identify the most influential countries, authors, and communication sources contributing to various facets of QC. Furthermore, this study also provides a research trajectory that outlines the prevalent research themes and current areas of research in QC. This information serves as a guiding light for newcomers, offering them direction and insight into the dynamic field of QC.
