Security proof for a simplified BB84-like QKD protocol

Davide Rusca, Alberto Boaron, Marcos Curty +2

The security of quantum key distribution (QKD) has been proven for different protocols, in particular for the BB84 protocol. It has been shown that this scheme is robust against ev…

Secure quantum key distribution over 421 km of optical fiber

Alberto Boaron, Gianluca Boso, Davide Rusca +10

We present a quantum key distribution system with a 2.5 GHz repetition rate using a three-state time-bin protocol combined with a one-decoy approach. Taking advantage of supercondu…

Simple 2.5 GHz time-bin quantum key distribution

Alberto Boaron, Boris Korzh, Raphael Houlmann +7

We present a 2.5 GHz quantum key distribution setup with the emphasis on a simple experimental realization. It features a three-state time-bin protocol based on a pulsed diode lase…

Simple and high-speed polarization-based QKD

Fadri Grünenfelder, Alberto Boaron, Davide Rusca +2

We present a simplified BB84 protocol with only three quantum states and one decoy-state level. We implement this scheme using the polarization degree of freedom at telecom wavelen…

Finite-key analysis on the 1-decoy state QKD protocol

Davide Rusca, Alberto Boaron, Fadri Grünenfelder +2

It has been shown that in the asymptotic case of infinite-key length the 2-decoy state QKD protocol outperforms the 1-decoy state protocol. Here, we present a finite-key analysis o…
