Realistic Threat Models for Fiber and Free-Space Continuous-Variable Quantum Key Distribution
Zhiyue Zuo, Masoud Ghalaii, Stefano Pirandola
Future global quantum communication networks, or quantum Internet, will realize high-rate secure communication and entanglement distribution for large-scale users over long distanc…
An Overview of CV-MDI-QKD
Alasdair I. Fletcher, Cillian Harney, Masoud Ghalaii +6
As quantum key distribution (QKD) emerges as a robust defense against quantum computer threats, significant advancements have been realized by researchers. A pivotal focus has been…
Continuous-Variable Measurement-Device-Independent Quantum Key Distribution in Free-Space Channels
Masoud Ghalaii, Stefano Pirandola
The field of space communications is the realm of communication technologies where diffraction and atmospheric effects, both of which contribute to loss and noise, become overridin…
Satellite-Based Quantum Key Distribution in the Presence of Bypass Channels
Masoud Ghalaii, Sima Bahrani, Carlo Liorni +9
The security of prepare-and-measure satellite-based quantum key distribution (QKD), under restricted eavesdropping scenarios, is addressed. We particularly consider cases where the…
Composable end-to-end security of Gaussian quantum networks with untrusted relays
Masoud Ghalaii, Panagiotis Papanastasiou, Stefano Pirandola
Gaussian networks are fundamental objects in network information theory. Here many senders and receivers are connected by physically motivated Gaussian channels while auxiliary Gau…
Noiseless linear amplification in quantum target detection using Gaussian states
Athena Karsa, Masoud Ghalaii, Stefano Pirandola
Quantum target detection aims to utilise quantum technologies to achieve performances in target detection not possible through purely classical means. Quantum illumination is an ex…
Quantum communications in a moderate-to-strong turbulent space
Masoud Ghalaii, Stefano Pirandola
Since the invention of the laser in the 60s, one of the most fundamental communication channels has been the free-space optical channel. For this type of channel, a number of effec…
Capacity-approaching quantum repeaters for quantum communications
Masoud Ghalaii, Stefano Pirandola
In present-day quantum communications, one of the main problems is the lack of a quantum repeater design that can simultaneously secure high rates and long distances. Recent litera…
Discrete-modulation continuous-variable quantum key distribution enhanced by quantum scissors
Masoud Ghalaii, Carlo Ottaviani, Rupesh Kumar +2
It is known that quantum scissors, as non-deterministic amplifiers, can enhance the performance of Gaussian-modulated continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CV-QKD) in noisy…
Long-distance continuous-variable quantum key distribution with quantum scissors
Masoud Ghalaii, Carlo Ottaviani, Rupesh Kumar +2
The use of quantum scissors, as candidates for non-deterministic amplifiers, in continuous-variable quantum key distribution systems is investigated. Such devices rely on single-ph…
