Insecurity of Measurement-Device-Independent Quantum Key Distribution
Konstantin Zaitsev, Polina Acheva
The security of practical quantum key distribution (QKD) systems is fundamentally constrained by vulnerabilities of single-photon detectors. Measurement-device-independent quantum…

Energy-time attack on detectors in quantum key distribution
Konstantin Zaitsev, Vladimir Bizin, Dmitriy Kuzmin +1
Quantum key distribution is unbreakable in theory but may be hacked via imperfections in its hardware implementations. While many imperfections have been mitigated by countermeasur…
