Limitations on Quantum Key Repeaters
A major application of quantum communication is the distribution of entangled particles for use in quantum key distribution. Owing to noise in the communication line, quantum key distribution is, in practice, limited to a distance of a few hundred kilometres, and can only be extended to longer distances by use of a quantum repeater, a device that performs entanglement distillation and quantum t...
متن کاملCV-MDI quantum key distribution via satellite
In this work we analyze a measurement-deviceindependent (MDI) protocol to establish continuous-variable (CV) quantum key distribution (QKD) between two ground stations. We assume communication occurs between the ground stations via satellite over two independent atmospheric-fading channels dominated by turbulence-induced beam wander. In this MDI protocol the measurement device is the satellite ...
متن کاملDeterminant Quantum Key Distribution Via Entanglement Swapping
The efficiency of the quantum key agreement protocol that was designed by replacing classical channel with a quantum one during quantum teleportation is reanalyzed and an improved quantum key distribution protocol is presented by making best of the properties of entanglement swapping. The improved quantum key distribution protocol is secure because the key bits only depend on the random measure...
متن کاملFinite-key analysis for practical implementations of quantum key distribution
The lists of bits processed in quantum key distribution are necessarily of finite length. The need for finite-key unconditional security bounds was recognized long ago, but the theoretical tools have become available only very recently. We provide finite-key unconditional security bounds for two practical implementations of the Bennett–Brassard 1984 coding: prepareand-measure implementations wi...
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 However, as practical devices tend to deviate from their specifications, the security of some practical systems is no longer valid.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...
