Implementation of continuous-variable quantum key distribution with composable and one-sided-device-independent security against coherent attacks
Secret communication over public channels is one of the central pillars of a modern information society. Using quantum key distribution this is achieved without relying on the hardness of mathematical problems, which might be compromised by improved algorithms or by future quantum computers. State-of-the-art quantum key distribution requires composable security against coherent attacks for a fi...
متن کاملA wideband balanced homodyne detector for high speed continuous variable quantum key distribution systems
In Gauissian-modulated coherent-state quantum key distribution, the measurement of quadratures of coherent states is performed by using homodyne detector. However, the existing detectors usually suffer from narrow band. Here we present a method to design a high-speed shot-noise-limited balanced homodyne detector. A 300 MHz bandwidth detector was experimentally tested and the level of shot noise...
متن کاملTrusted noise in continuous-variable quantum key distribution
We address the role of the phase-insensitive trusted preparation and detection noise in the security of a continuous-variable quantum key distribution, considering the Gaussian protocols on the basis of coherent and squeezed states and studying them in the conditions of Gaussian lossy and noisy channels. The influence of such a noise on the security of Gaussian quantum cryptography can be cruci...
متن کاملDetector decoy quantum key distribution
Photon number resolving detectors can enhance the performance of many practical quantum cryptographic setups. In this paper, we employ a simple method to estimate the statistics provided by such a photon number resolving detector using only a threshold detector together with a variable attenuator. This idea is similar in spirit to that of the decoy state technique, and is specially suited for t...
متن کاملSecurity of continuous-variable quantum key distribution: towards a de Finetti theorem for rotation symmetry in phase space
Proving the unconditional security of quantum key distribution (QKD) is a highly challenging task as one needs to determine the most efficient attack compatible with experimental data. This task is even more demanding for continuous-variable QKD as the Hilbert space where the protocol is described is infinite dimensional. A possible strategy to address this problem is to make an extensive use o...
