An Improved Correction Term for Dimension Reduction in Quantum Key Distribution

Twesh Upadhyaya, Thomas van Himbeeck, Norbert Lütkenhaus

The dimension reduction method enables security proofs of quantum key distribution (QKD) protocols that are originally formulated in infinite dimensions via reduction to a tractabl…

Finite-Key Analysis of Quantum Key Distribution with Characterized Devices Using Entropy Accumulation

Ian George, Jie Lin, Thomas van Himbeeck +2

The Entropy Accumulation Theorem (EAT) was introduced to significantly improve the finite-size rates for device-independent quantum information processing tasks such as device-inde…

Tagging idea in continuous variable quantum key distribution and its application

Chenyang Li, Thomas Van Himbeeck, Li Qian +1

Despite tremendous theoretical and experimental progress in continuous variable (CV) quantum key distribution (QKD), its security has not been rigorously established for practical…

Correlations and randomness generation based on energy constraints

Thomas Van Himbeeck, Stefano Pironio

In a previous paper, we introduced a semi-device-independent scheme consisting of an untrusted source sending quantum states to an untrusted measuring device, with the sole assumpt…

Practical self-testing quantum random number generator based on an energy bound

Davide Rusca, Thomas van Himbeeck, Anthony Martin +5

We present a scheme for a self-testing quantum random number generator. Compared to the fully device-independent model, our scheme requires an extra natural assumption, namely that…

Semi-device-independent framework based on natural physical assumptions

Thomas Van Himbeeck, Erik Woodhead, Nicolas J. Cerf +2

The semi-device-independent approach provides a framework for prepare-and-measure quantum protocols using devices whose behavior must not be characterized nor trusted, except for a…
