NY-based MagiQ (http://www.magiqtech.com/) has now started commercial shipments
of its quantum cryptography systems, which it claims is the first
commercially available device of its type.

Quantum cryptography goes a step further than electronic cryptography through
its employment of a stream of photons, the quantum properties of which
determine the key. The fun part is that if an intruder observes or
intercepts the transmission, those properties get changed.

Slashdot (http://slashdot.org/articles/03/11/06/0028250.shtml?tid=126&tid=134&tid=172) covers it.
