Finite-key security analysis of decoy-state QKD with source and detector imperfections

Xoel Sixto, Guillermo Currás-Lorenzo, Margarida Pereira +3

Decoy-state quantum key distribution (QKD) is the most widely adopted approach for overcoming the limitations of imperfect single-photon sources. However, existing security proofs…

Quantum key distribution with imperfectly isolated devices

Xoel Sixto, Álvaro Navarrete, Margarida Pereira +3

Most security proofs of quantum key distribution (QKD) assume that there is no unwanted information leakage about the state preparation process. However, this assumption is impossi…

Intensity correlations in decoy-state BB84 quantum key distribution systems

Daniil Trefilov, Xoel Sixto, Víctor Zapatero +3

The decoy-state method is a prominent approach to enhance the performance of quantum key distribution (QKD) systems that operate with weak coherent laser sources. Due to the limite…

Secret key rate bounds for quantum key distribution with non-uniform phase randomization

Xoel Sixto, Guillermo Currás-Lorenzo, Kiyoshi Tamaki +1

Decoy-state quantum key distribution (QKD) is undoubtedly the most efficient solution to handle multi-photon signals emitted by laser sources, and provides the same secret key rate…

Security of decoy-state quantum key distribution with correlated intensity fluctuations

Xoel Sixto, Víctor Zapatero, Marcos Curty

One of the most prominent techniques to enhance the performance of practical quantum key distribution (QKD) systems with laser sources is the decoy-state method. Current decoy-stat…
