Evaluating the Q-score of Quantum Annealers
Ward van der Schoot, Daan Leermakers, Robert Wezeman +2
We report the Atos Q-score for D-Wave's quantum devices, classical algorithms and hybrid quantum-classical solver. Computing the Q-score entails solving the Max-Cut problem for inc…
Two-way Unclonable Encryption with a vulnerable sender
Daan Leermakers, Boris Skoric
Unclonable Encryption, introduced by Gottesman in 2003, is a quantum protocol that guarantees the secrecy of a successfully transferred classical message even when all keys leak at…
Qubit-based Unclonable Encryption with Key Recycling
Daan Leermakers, Boris Skoric
We re-visit Unclonable Encryption as introduced by Gottesman in 2003. We look at the combination of Unclonable Encryption and Key Recycling, while aiming for low communication comp…
Quantum Alice and Silent Bob: Qubit-based Quantum Key Recycling with almost no classical communication
Daan Leermakers, Boris Skoric
We answer an open question about Quantum Key Recycling (QKR): Is it possible to put the message entirely in the qubits without increasing the number of qubits? We show that this is…
Security proof for Round Robin Differential Phase Shift QKD
Daan Leermakers, Boris Skoric
We give a security proof of the `Round Robin Differential Phase Shift' Quantum Key Distribution scheme, and we give a tight bound on the required amount of privacy amplification. O…
Optimal attacks on qubit-based Quantum Key Recycling
Daan Leermakers, Boris Skoric
Quantum Key Recycling (QKR) is a quantum-cryptographic primitive that allows one to re-use keys in an unconditionally secure way. By removing the need to repeatedly generate new ke…
