What is Quantum Encryption? How does it work?

its actually a valid question. Encrypting for quantum computing is a wider term and could mean lot of different things. PQC usually refers to encrption algorithms which are resistant against quantum computer cracking. But these may involve different algorithms to achieve it. We can atleast have a surface level understanding about pqc without going into the detail mathematics of each algorithm. For the convenience of myself and eveyone else i am going to put an AI summary of the the pqc algorithms and its applications here which i beileve to be accurate as per my research. AI Summary (click for more details) Though i beileve that these are not the only algorithms under pqc which are developed as its a growing field and we don’t know yet the exact extent of how powerful a quantum computer could be in reality. So to note that an application claiming to be quantum safe is just a bet on using the right algorithm for protecting against quantum threats but are not a guarantee that they would safeguard against all types of attacks in future.
