System and Method for Implementing Quantum-Secure Wireless Networks

At a wireless communication network including subcomponents, a connection establishment message from a user equipment is received to connect the user equipment to the wireless communication network. From a wireless key distribution device, via. a. quantum communication channel, quantum encryption keys are received to encrypt and decrypt messages communicated with the user equipment, A network connection between the user equipment and the wireless communication network is established, and for at least one subcomponent of the wireless communication network: incoming communications from the user equipment or the other sub-components are decrypted using the quantum encryption keys and a quantum key distribution algorithm; and outgoing communication to the user equipment or the other subcomponents are encrypted using the quantum encryption keys and the quantum key distribution algorithm.
