Security framework for practical quantum key distribution with imperfect devices
Jerome Wiesemann, John Burniston, Devashish Tupkary +1
Practical quantum key distribution (QKD) systems inevitably exhibit imperfections in both the source and detector. At the same time, the behavior of these imperfect devices is neve…
Enforcing IID structure on time-bin encoded QKD protocols via coarse-graining
Shlok Nahar, Shihong Pan, Norbert Lütkenhaus
Many security proofs for quantum key distribution (QKD) require Bob's measurement to have a tensor-product structure across protocol rounds, with some techniques requiring the stro…
Drone- and Vehicle-Based Quantum Key Distribution
Andrew Conrad, Roderick Cochran, Daniel Sanchez-Rosales +17
Quantum key distribution is a point-to-point communication protocol that leverages quantum mechanics to enable secure information exchange. Commonly, the transmitter and receiver s…
Phase error rate estimation in QKD with imperfect detectors
Devashish Tupkary, Shlok Nahar, Pulkit Sinha +1
We present a finite-size security proof of the decoy-state BB84 QKD protocol against coherent attacks, using entropic uncertainty relations, for imperfect detectors. We apply this…
Improved Decoy-state and Flag-state Squashing Methods
Lars Kamin, Norbert Lütkenhaus
In this work, we present an improved analysis for decoy-state methods, enhancing both achievable key rates and recovering analytical results for the single intensity scenario. Our…
Finite-size analysis of prepare-and-measure and decoy-state QKD via entropy accumulation
Lars Kamin, Amir Arqand, Ian George +2
An important goal in quantum key distribution (QKD) is the task of providing a finite-size security proof without the assumption of collective attacks. For prepare-and-measure QKD,…
