Boosting quantum key distribution via the end-to-end physical control
arXiv:2109.05575
Abstract
Quantum key distribution (QKD) is a cornerstone of the secure quantum encryption. Building on the quantum irreversibility, we develop a technique reborning the existing QKDs into protocols that are unrestricted in distance and have unprecedented high rates enhanced up to the standard protocols communication speeds. The core of our method is the continuous end-to-end physical control of information leaks in the quantum channel. Contrary to the existing long-distance QKD offerings, our technique does not require any trust nodes.
