Loss-tolerant quantum cryptography with imperfect sources
Kiyoshi Tamaki, Marcos Curty, Go Kato +2
In principle, quantum key distribution (QKD) offers unconditional security based on the laws of physics. In practice, flaws in the state preparation undermine the security of QKD s…
All photonic quantum repeaters
Koji Azuma, Kiyoshi Tamaki, Hoi-Kwong Lo
Quantum communication holds promise for unconditionally secure transmission of secret messages and faithful transfer of unknown quantum states. Photons appear to be the medium of c…
Experimental Demonstration of Polarization Encoding Measurement-Device-Independent Quantum Key Distribution
Zhiyuan Tang, Zhongfa Liao, Feihu Xu +3
We demonstrate the first implementation of polarization encoding measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution (MDI-QKD), which is immune to all detector side-channel att…
Finite-key analysis for measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution
Marcos Curty, Feihu Xu, Wei Cui +3
Quantum key distribution promises unconditionally secure communications. However, as practical devices tend to deviate from their specifications, the security of some practical sys…
Investigations of afterpulsing and detection efficiency recovery in superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors
Viacheslav Burenkov, He Xu, Bing Qi +2
We report on the observation of a non-uniform dark count rate in Superconducting Nanowire Single Photon Detectors (SNSPDs), specifically focusing on an afterpulsing effect present…
Long distance measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution with entangled photon sources
Feihu Xu, Bing Qi, Zhongfa Liao +1
We present a practical method that can make quantum key distribution (QKD), for the first time, both ultra-long-distance and immune to all attacks in the detection system. This met…
