Quantum Erasure Cryptography

Abstract

The phenomenon of quantum erasure has long intrigued physicists, but has surprisingly found limited practical application. Here, we propose an erasure-based protocol for quantum key distribution (QKD) that promises inherent security against detector attacks.

I revised and extended security discussion to include detector-blinding attack
