Entanglement-based quantum key distribution without an entangled-photon source
Quantum key distribution ~QKD! has been studied extensively as a means to realize unconditionally secure communication systems. Two legal parties ~Alice and Bob! create a secret key, security of which against eavesdropping is guaranteed by the law of quantum mechanics, and use it as a one-time pad for encrypting messages. Following the first proposal that used four nonorthogonal states @Benneet...
متن کاملQuantum key distribution with bright entangled beams.
We suggest a quantum cryptographic scheme using continuous EPR-like correlations of bright optical beams. For binary key encoding, the continuous information is discretized in a novel way by associating a respective measurement, amplitude, or phase, with a bit value "1" or "0." The secure key distribution is guaranteed by the quantum correlations. No predetermined information is sent through th...
متن کاملSecurity of Quantum Key Distribution with Entangled Qutrits
The study of quantum cryptography and quantum non-locality have traditionnally been based on two-level quantum systems (qubits). In this paper we consider a generalisation of Ekert’s cryptographic protocol[20] where qubits are replaced by qutrits. The security of this protocol is related to non-locality, in analogy with Ekert’s protocol. In order to study its robustness against the optimal indi...
متن کاملEfficient quantum key distribution scheme with nonmaximally entangled states
We propose an efficient quantum key distribution scheme based on entanglement. The sender chooses pairs of photons in one of the two equivalent nonmaximally entangled states randomly, and sends a sequence of photons from each pair to the receiver. They choose from the various bases independently but with substantially different probabilities, thus reducing the fraction of discarded data, and a ...
متن کاملEntangled Quantum Key Distribution with a Biased Basis Choice
We investigate a quantum key distribution (QKD) scheme which utilizes a biased basis choice in order to increase the efficiency of the scheme. The optimal bias between the two measurement bases, a more refined error analysis, and finite key size effects are all studied in order to assure the security of the final key generated with the system. We then implement the scheme in a local entangled Q...
