who can help me?

If you want to learn quantum cryptography deeply you should first understand quantum physics.

I am not sure that is correct. Quantum Computation and Quantum Encryption are both massively enhanced by a deep study of Quantum Mechanics - but they can both be approached with a black box approach; eg this box can be in |1>, |0>, or Sqrt(2)|0> +/- Sqrt(2)|1> and the state does not survive first measurement etc.

 

You do need the basics of quantum superposition and entanglement, and how this relates to computational methods - quantum unitary transforms and fourier transforms etc.

 

There is a great Quantum Computation course on edx.org - It is run by Umesh Vazirani (who is very cool) and whilst hard work is comprehendible by a layperson with a goodish grasp of maths
