Implementation security in quantum key distribution
arXiv:2310.20377
Abstract
The problem of implementation security in quantum key distribution (QKD) refers to the difficulty of meeting the requirements of mathematical security proofs in real-life QKD systems. Here, we provide a succint review on this topic, focusing on discrete variable QKD setups. Particularly, we discuss some of their main vulnerabilities and comment on possible approaches to overcome them.
