Proposal of an experimental scheme for realising a translucent eavesdropping on a quantum cryptographic channel

Abstract

Purpose of this paper is to suggest a scheme, which can be realised with today's technology and could be used for entangling a probe to a photon qubit based on polarisation. Using this probe a translucent or a coherent eavesdropping can be performed.
