Reference-Frame-Independent Measurement-Device-Independent Quantum Key Distribution with Uncharacterized Qubits

Abstract

We propose a reference-frame-independent measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution with uncharacterized quantum bits. We show the security of the protocol. The protocol can also be useful for a channel that has a very low bit error rate but suffers a large, uncontrolled (but slow), unitary rotation.
