On the security of two-way quantum key distribution
Jesni Shamsul Shaari, Stefano Mancini, Stefano Pirandola +1
An author (arXiv:1709.09262 [quant-ph] (2017), Nanoscale Research Letters (2017) 12:552) has recently questioned the security of two-way quantum key distribution schemes by referri…
Assumptions in Quantum Cryptography
Normand J. Beaudry
Quantum cryptography uses techniques and ideas from physics and computer science. The combination of these ideas makes the security proofs of quantum cryptography a complicated tas…
Squashing model for detectors and applications to quantum key distribution protocols
Oleg Gittsovich, Normand J. Beaudry, Varun Narasimhachar +3
We develop a framework that allows a description of measurements in Hilbert spaces that are smaller than their natural representation. This description, which we call a "squashing…
Smooth Max-Information as One-Shot Generalization for Mutual Information
Nikola Ciganović, Normand J. Beaudry, Renato Renner
We study formal properties of smooth max-information, a generalization of von Neumann mutual information derived from the max-relative entropy. Recent work suggests that it is a us…
An intuitive proof of the data processing inequality
Normand J. Beaudry, Renato Renner
The data processing inequality (DPI) is a fundamental feature of information theory. Informally it states that you cannot increase the information content of a quantum system by ac…
Entanglement verification with realistic measurement devices via squashing operations
Tobias Moroder, Otfried Gühne, Normand J. Beaudry +2
Many protocols and experiments in quantum information science are described in terms of simple measurements on qubits. However, in a real implementation, the exact description is m…
