Deterministic QKD source robust against side-channel attacks

Kiyoshi Tamaki, Marcos Curty, Akihiro Mizutani +1

Quantum key distribution (QKD) is secure in principle, but practical security can be undermined by discrepancies between real devices and the idealized models assumed in security p…

Phase-error estimation for quantum key distribution with leaky receivers

Álvaro Navarrete, Margarida Pereira, Guillermo Currás-Lorenzo +3

Practical quantum key distribution (QKD) receivers may leak information about their measurement outcomes and settings to the channel (e.g., through detector backflashes or back-ref…

Quantum Key Distribution Beyond Stationary Channels

Vaisakh Mannalath, Víctor Zapatero, Kiyoshi Tamaki +1

Quantum key distribution (QKD) over non-stationary channels, such as satellite links, is characterized by short, high-loss, and strongly fluctuating transmission windows that produ…

Security of decoy-state quantum key distribution with correlated bit-and-basis encoders

Guillermo Currás-Lorenzo, Margarida Pereira, Alessandro Marcomini +2

Practical quantum key distribution (QKD) modulators inevitably introduce correlations, causing the state emitted in a given round to depend on the setting choices made in previous…

Phase-error-estimation security framework for quantum key distribution with correlated sources

Guillermo Currás-Lorenzo, Margarida Pereira, Kiyoshi Tamaki +1

Practical QKD modulators introduce correlations between consecutively emitted pulses due to bandwidth limitations, violating key assumptions underlying many security proof techniqu…

Loss-tolerant quantum key distribution with detection efficiency mismatch

Alessandro Marcomini, Akihiro Mizutani, Fadri Grünenfelder +2

Current implementations of quantum key distribution (QKD) typically rely on prepare-and-measure (P&M) schemes. Unfortunately, these implementations are not completely secure, unles…

Characterising higher-order phase correlations in gain-switched laser sources with application to quantum key distribution

Alessandro Marcomini, Guillermo Currás-Lorenzo, Davide Rusca +3

Multi-photon emissions in laser sources represent a serious threat for the security of quantum key distribution (QKD). While the decoy-state technique allows to solve this problem,…

Differential-phase-shift QKD with practical Mach-Zehnder interferometer

Akihiro Mizutani, Masanori Terashita, Junya Matsubayashi +4

Differential-phase-shift (DPS) quantum key distribution stands as a promising protocol due to its simple implementation, which can be realized with a train of coherent pulses and a…
