Decoherence suppression via environment preparation

Olivier Landon-Cardinal, Richard MacKenzie

To protect a quantum system from decoherence due to interaction with its environment, we investigate the existence of initial states of the environment allowing for decoherence-fre…

Robust and Efficient Sifting-Less Quantum Key Distribution Protocols

Frédéric Grosshans

We show that replacing the usual sifting step of the standard quantum-key-distribution protocol BB84 by a one-way reverse reconciliation procedure increases its robustness against…

On entanglement and perfect LOCC discrimination of a class of multiqubit states

Somshubhro Bandyopadhyay

It is shown that while entanglement remains a significant factor in discriminating a set of mutually orthogonal entangled states perfectly by local operations and classical communi…

Fair Loss-Tolerant Quantum Coin Flipping

Guido Berlin, Gilles Brassard, Felix Bussieres +1

Coin flipping is a cryptographic primitive in which two spatially separated players, who in principle do not trust each other, wish to establish a common random bit. If we limit ou…

Flipping quantum coins

Guido Berlin, Gilles Brassard, Felix Bussieres +3

Coin flipping is a cryptographic primitive in which two distrustful parties wish to generate a random bit in order to choose between two alternatives. This task is impossible to re…

On the Power of Two-Party Quantum Cryptography

Louis Salvail, Christian Schaffner, Miroslava Sotakova

We study quantum protocols among two distrustful parties. Under the sole assumption of correctness - guaranteeing that honest players obtain their correct outcomes - we show that e…
