Tailored bright illumination attack on distributed-phase-reference protocols
Lars Lydersen, Johannes Skaar, Vadim Makarov
Detector control attacks on quantum key distribution systems exploit the linear mode of avalanche photodiode in single photon detectors. So far, the protocols under consideration h…
Reply to "Avoiding the Detector Blinding Attack on Quantum Cryptography"
Lars Lydersen, Carlos Wiechers, Christoffer Wittmann +3
This is a reply to the comment by Yuan et al. [arXiv:1009.6130v1] on our publication [arXiv:1008.4593].
After-gate attack on a quantum cryptosystem
Carlos Wiechers, Lars Lydersen, Christoffer Wittmann +5
We present a method to control the detection events in quantum key distribution systems that use gated single-photon detectors. We employ bright pulses as faked states, timed to ar…
Thermal blinding of gated detectors in quantum cryptography
Lars Lydersen, Carlos Wiechers, Christoffer Wittmann +3
It has previously been shown that the gated detectors of two commercially available quantum key distribution (QKD) systems are blindable and controllable by an eavesdropper using c…
Hacking commercial quantum cryptography systems by tailored bright illumination
Lars Lydersen, Carlos Wiechers, Christoffer Wittmann +3
The peculiar properties of quantum mechanics allow two remote parties to communicate a private, secret key, which is protected from eavesdropping by the laws of physics. So-called…
Thermal Casimir-Polder shifts in Rydberg atoms near metallic surfaces
J. A. Crosse, Simen Å. Ellingsen, Kate Clements +2
The Casimir-Polder (CP) potential and transition rates of a Rydberg atom above a plane metal surface at finite temperature are discussed. As an example, the CP potential and transi…
