Variational Quantum Circuits for Quantum State Tomography

Yong Liu, Dongyang Wang, Shichuan Xue +9

Quantum state tomography is a key process in most quantum experiments. In this work, we employ quantum machine learning for state tomography. Given an unknown quantum state, it can…

Security analysis of practical continuous-variable quantum key distribution systems under laser seeding attack

Yi Zheng, Peng Huang, Anqi Huang +2

Here, we investigate the security of the practical one-way CVQKD and CV-MDI-QKD systems under laser seeding attack. In particular, Eve can inject a suitable light into the laser di…

Laser damage attack against optical attenuators in quantum key distribution

Anqi Huang, Ruoping Li, Vladimir Egorov +3

Many quantum key distribution systems employ a laser followed by an optical attenuator to prepare weak coherent states in the source. Their mean photon number must be pre-calibrate…

Eavesdropper's ability to attack a free-space quantum-key-distribution receiver in atmospheric turbulence

Poompong Chaiwongkhot, Katanya B. Kuntz, Yanbao Zhang +6

The ability of an eavesdropper (Eve) to perform an intercept-resend attack on a free-space quantum key distribution (QKD) receiver by precisely controlling the incidence angle of a…
