I understand that there are underlying mathematic principles that give a pretty good approximation of the effect when you pretend there are 2 photons instead of one. And that these are just our current operating theories in absence of true understanding. But do these theories not both seem a bit "imaginative"? I guess we'll see in the coming years.
The first quantum cryptographic exchange was performed in 1989. The distance was only 30 cm but proved that quantum computing in respect to cryptography was more than just a theory. In 2016, China launched a "quantum satellite". The theories are definitely imaginative, but they are being used in practical research! Our understanding of quantum mechanics will definitely increase in the years to come.
