This is probably because the common viruses of respiratory tract disease are very widely an...

We present an approach to automate Shor-Preskill style unconditional security proof of QKDs. In Shor-Preskill’s proof, the target QKD, BB84, is transformed into another QKD based on an entanglement distillation protocol (EDP), which is more feasible for direct analysis. We formalized heir method as program transformation in a quantum programming language, QPL. The transform is defined as rewrit...

This study investigates a relationship between free access to research articles and the diffusion of their ideas as measured by citation counts.
