Secure quantum key distribution using squeezed states
We prove the security of a quantum key distribution scheme based on transmission of squeezed quantum states of a harmonic oscillator. Our proof employs quantum error-correcting codes that encode a finitedimensional quantum system in the infinite-dimensional Hilbert space of an oscillator, and protect against errors that shift the canonical variables p and q. If the noise in the quantum channel ...
متن کاملExperimental measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution.
Quantum key distribution is proven to offer unconditional security in communication between two remote users with ideal source and detection. Unfortunately, ideal devices never exist in practice and device imperfections have become the targets of various attacks. By developing up-conversion single-photon detectors with high efficiency and low noise, we faithfully demonstrate the measurement-dev...
متن کاملQuantum Key Distribution using Continuous-variable non-Gaussian States
In this work we present a quantum key distribution protocol using continuous-variable nonGaussian states, homodyne detection and post-selection. The employed signal states are the Photon Added then Subtracted Coherent States (PASCS) in which one photon is added and subsequently one photon is subtracted. We analyze the performance of our protocol, compared to a coherent state based protocol, for...
متن کاملFinite-key analysis for measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution.
Quantum key distribution promises unconditionally secure communications. However, as practical devices tend to deviate from their specifications, the security of some practical systems is no longer valid. In particular, an adversary can exploit imperfect detectors to learn a large part of the secret key, even though the security proof claims otherwise. Recently, a practical approach--measuremen...
متن کاملDevice-independent quantum key distribution
Quantum key distribution allows two parties connected by a quantum channel to establish a secret key that is unknown to any unauthorized third party. The secrecy of this key is based on the laws of quantum physics. For security, however, it is crucial that the honest parties are able to control their physical devices accurately and completely. The goal of device-independent quantum key distribu...
