Turing Award Recognition
The ACM awards the duo the highest honor in computing for their foundational work.
First Experimental Proof
The first successful demonstration of quantum key exchange over a short distance.
BB84 Protocol Published
Bennett and Brassard publish the first protocol for Quantum Key Distribution.
Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard have been awarded the 2026 Turing Award for their foundational work in quantum cryptography, specifically the BB84 protocol. Their research, which dates back to the 1980s, provides the theoretical framework for communication systems that are physically impossible to intercept without detection.
