Quantum cryptography in the aspect of popularization of science and development of professional and technical qualifications.

The aura of mystery surrounding quantum physics makes it difficult to advance quantum technologies. Demystification requires methodological techniques that explain the basics of quantum technologies without metaphors and abstract mathematics. The article provides an example of such an explanation for the BB84 quantum key distribution protocol based on phase coding. This allows you to seamlessly get acquainted with the real cryptographic installation QRate, used at the WorldSkills competition in the competence of "Quantum Technologies".
