Advantage of multi-partite entanglement for quantum cryptography over long and short ranged networks

Janka Memmen, Jens Eisert, Nathan Walk

The increasing sophistication of available quantum networks has seen a corresponding growth in the pursuit of multi-partite cryptographic protocols. Whilst the use of multi-partite…

Harnessing symmetry-protected topological order for quantum memories

Marcel Goihl, Nathan Walk, Jens Eisert +1

Spin chains with symmetry-protected edge modes are promising candidates to realize intrinsically robust physical qubits that can be used for the storage and processing of quantum i…

Measurement-Based Noiseless Linear Amplification for Quantum Communication

Helen M. Chrzanowski, Nathan Walk, Syed M. Assad +5

Entanglement distillation is an indispensable ingredient in extended quantum communication networks. Distillation protocols are necessarily non-deterministic and require advanced e…

Finite-size effects in continuous-variable QKD with Gaussian post-selection

Nedasadat Hosseinidehaj, Andrew M. Lance, Thomas Symul +2

In a continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CV-QKD) protocol, which is based on heterodyne detection at the receiver, the application of a noiseless linear amplifier (NLA) o…

Composably secure time-frequency quantum key distribution

Nathan Walk, Jonathan Barrett, Joshua Nunn

We present a composable security proof, valid against arbitrary attacks and including finite-size effects, for a high dimensional time-frequency quantum key distribution (TFQKD) pr…

Anonymous conference key agreement in linear quantum networks

Jarn de Jong, Frederik Hahn, Jens Eisert +2

Sharing multi-partite quantum entanglement between parties allows for diverse secure communication tasks to be performed. Among them, conference key agreement (CKA), an extension o…
