Flexible rigidity: Compiling generic trusted-preparation protocols into sequential device-independent protocols

Amir Arqand, Srijita Kundu, Ernest Y. -Z. Tan

We give a generic compiler for turning a wide class of device-dependent protocols with trusted state preparation into sequential device-independent protocols. In order for our comp…

Device-independent quantum key distribution over 100 km with single atoms

Bo-Wei Lu, Chao-Wei Yang, Run-Qi Wang +15

Device-independent quantum key distribution (DI-QKD) is a key application of the quantum internet. We report the realization of DI-QKD between two single-atom nodes linked by 100-k…

Analytic Rényi Entropy Bounds for Device-Independent Cryptography

Thomas A. Hahn, Aby Philip, Ernest Y. -Z. Tan +1

Device-independent (DI) cryptography represents the highest level of security, enabling cryptographic primitives to be executed safely on uncharacterized devices. Moreover, with su…

Marginal-constrained entropy accumulation theorem

Amir Arqand, Ernest Y. -Z. Tan

We derive a novel chain rule for a family of channel conditional entropies, covering von Neumann and sandwiched Rényi entropies. In the process, we show that these channel conditio…

Bounds on Petz-Rényi Divergences and their Applications for Device-Independent Cryptography

Thomas A. Hahn, Ernest Y. -Z. Tan, Peter Brown

Variational techniques have been recently developed to find tighter bounds on the von Neumann entropy in a completely device-independent (DI) setting. This, in turn, has led to sig…

Mutual information chain rules for security proofs robust against device imperfections

Amir Arqand, Tony Metger, Ernest Y. -Z. Tan

In this work we derive a number of chain rules for mutual information quantities, suitable for analyzing quantum cryptography with imperfect devices that leak additional informatio…

Finite-size analysis of prepare-and-measure and decoy-state QKD via entropy accumulation

Lars Kamin, Amir Arqand, Ian George +2

An important goal in quantum key distribution (QKD) is the task of providing a finite-size security proof without the assumption of collective attacks. For prepare-and-measure QKD,…

Generalized Rényi entropy accumulation theorem and generalized quantum probability estimation

Amir Arqand, Thomas A. Hahn, Ernest Y. -Z. Tan

The entropy accumulation theorem, and its subsequent generalized version, is a powerful tool in the security analysis of many device-dependent and device-independent cryptography p…
