Abstract 

This dataset supports the research on hybrid quantum encryption by providing simulation results for Quantum Bit Error Rate (QBER) vs. Channel Loss in Quantum Key Distribution (QKD). The dataset includes numerical values used to generate the QBER vs. Channel Loss graph, which illustrates how increasing channel loss impacts quantum encryption performance. This relationship is illustrated graphically by the uploaded dataset image, which shows the critical threshold at which QBER surpasses secure transmission limits. This dataset is essential for researchers analyzing quantum communication security, optimizing QKD systems, and integrating quantum-safe cryptographic protocols.
