Sections 19.1 and 19.2

I have never been so scared for this class as I am right now.  I didnt know that we would get to talk about quantum anything... much less apply it to cryptography....
The experiment with the light was interesting, and I understood the idea of the experiment but once we started to find orthogonal bases I started to get a little confused.
The second part that was talking about the usage was actually a little more understandable.  It is very cool that with this kind of cryptography that you can detect eavesdropping, although it seems like it would take there being a large amount of data being sent to do so.  But maybe thats possible here.  It was interesting to say the least.
