Proposal of an experimental scheme for realising a translucent eavesdropping on a quantum cryptographic channel
نویسنده
چکیده
Purpose of this paper is to suggest a scheme, which can be realised with today’s technology and could be used for entangling a probe to a photon qubit based on polarisation. Using this probe a translucent or a coherent eavesdropping can be performed.

Quantum Cloning, Eavesdropping and Bell’s inequality
We analyze various eavesdropping strategies on a quantum cryptographic channel. We present the optimal strategy for an eavesdropper restricted to a two-dimensional probe, interacting on-line with each transmitted signal. The link between safety of the transmission and the violation of Bell’s inequality is discussed. We also use a quantum copying machine for eavesdropping and for broadcasting qu...
متن کاملQuantum cryptography based on orthogonal states.
All existing quantum cryptosystems use non-orthogonal states as the carriers of information. Non-orthogonal states cannot be cloned (duplicated) by an eavesdropper. In result, any eavesdropping attempt must introduce errors in the transmission, and therefore, can be detected by the legal users of the communication channel. Orthogonal states are not used in quantum cryptography, since they can b...
متن کاملQuantum channel based on correlated twin laser beams
This work is the development and analysis of the recently proposed quantum cryptographic protocol, based on the use of the two-mode coherently correlated states. The protocol is supplied with the cyrptographic control procedures. The channel error properties and stability against eavesdropping are examined. State detection features are proposed.

The safety of a quantum key distribution system relies on the fact that any eavesdropping attempt on the quantum channel creates errors in the transmission. For a given error rate, the amount of information that may have leaked to the eavesdropper depends on both the particular system and the eavesdropping strategy. In this work, we discuss quantum cryptographic protocols based on the transmiss...
متن کاملAspects of entangled translucent eavesdropping in quantum cryptography
We present a mathematical physics analysis of entangled translucent eavesdropping in quantum cryptography, based on the recent work of Ekert, Huttner, Palma, and Peres @Phys. Rev. A 50, 1047 ~1994!#. The key generation procedure involves the transmission, interception, and reception of two nonorthogonal photon polarization states. At the receiving end, a positive operator valued measure ~POVM! ...
