PAEMS: Precise and Adaptive Error Model for Superconducting Quantum Processors

Songhuan He, Yifei Cui, Bo Liu +2

Superconducting quantum processor units (QPUs) are incapable of producing massive datasets for quantum error correction (QEC) because of hardware limitations. Thus, QEC decoders he…

Unconditionally secure digital signatures implemented in an 8-user quantum network

Yoann Pelet, Ittoop Vergheese Puthoor, Natarajan Venkatachalam +11

The ability to know and verifiably demonstrate the origins of messages can often be as important as encrypting the message itself. Here we present an experimental demonstration of…

Fully passive entanglement based quantum key distribution scheme

Bo Liu, Matej Pivoluska, Johannes Handsteiner +5

In general, generation of entangled photon pairs and also the random choice of measurement basis can be implemented with passive optical devices in entanglement based quantum key d…

A model for optimizing quantum key distribution with continuous-wave pumped entangled-photon sources

Sebastian Philipp Neumann, Thomas Scheidl, Mirela Selimovic +4

Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) allows unconditionally secure communication based on the laws of quantum mechanics rather then assumptions about computational hardness. Optimizing t…

Scalable authentication and optimal flooding in a quantum network

Naomi R. Solomons, Alasdair I. Fletcher, Djeylan Aktas +11

The global interest in quantum networks stems from the security guaranteed by the laws of physics. Deploying quantum networks means facing the challenges of scaling up the physical…

Experimental implementation of secure anonymous protocols on an eight-user quantum network

Zixin Huang, Siddarth Koduru Joshi, Djeylan Aktas +12

Anonymity in networked communication is vital for many privacy-preserving tasks. Secure key distribution alone is insufficient for high-security communications, often knowing who t…

Strategies for achieving high key rates in satellite-based QKD

Sebastian Ecker, Bo Liu, Johannes Handsteiner +6

Quantum key distribution (QKD) is a pioneering quantum technology on the brink of widespread deployment. Nevertheless, the distribution of secret keys beyond a few 100 kilometers a…

Passively stable distribution of polarisation entanglement over 192 km of deployed optical fibre

Sören Wengerowsky, Siddarth Koduru Joshi, Fabian Steinlechner +14

Quantum key distribution (QKD) based on entangled photon pairs holds the potential for repeater-based quantum networks connecting clients over long distance. We demonstrate long-di…

Cosmic Bell Test using Random Measurement Settings from High-Redshift Quasars

Dominik Rauch, Johannes Handsteiner, Armin Hochrainer +17

In this Letter, we present a cosmic Bell experiment with polarization-entangled photons, in which measurement settings were determined based on real-time measurements of the wavele…

Satellite-relayed intercontinental quantum network

Sheng-Kai Liao, Wen-Qi Cai, Johannes Handsteiner +33

We perform decoy-state quantum key distribution between a low-Earth-orbit satellite and multiple ground stations located in Xinglong, Nanshan, and Graz, which establish satellite-t…

Distribution of high-dimensional entanglement via an intra-city free-space link

Fabian Steinlechner, Sebastian Ecker, Matthias Fink +5

Quantum entanglement is a fundamental resource in quantum information processing and its distribution between distant parties is a key challenge in quantum communications. Increasi…

Cosmic Bell Test: Measurement Settings from Milky Way Stars

Johannes Handsteiner, Andrew S. Friedman, Dominik Rauch +17

Bell's theorem states that some predictions of quantum mechanics cannot be reproduced by a local-realist theory. That conflict is expressed by Bell's inequality, which is usually d…
