Reduced randomness in quantum cryptography with sequences of qubits encoded in the same basis
L. -P. Lamoureux, H. Bechmann-Pasquinucci, N. J. Cerf +2
We consider the cloning of sequences of qubits prepared in the states used in the BB84 or 6-state quantum cryptography protocol, and show that the single-qubit fidelity is unaffect…
Robustness of a quantum key distribution with two and three mutually unbiased bases
Filippo Caruso, Helle Bechmann-Pasquinucci, Chiara Macchiavello
We study the robustness of various protocols for quantum key distribution. We first consider the case of qutrits and study quantum protocols that employ two and three mutually unbi…
Impossibility of perfect quantum sealing of classical information
H. Bechmann-Pasquinucci, G. M. D'Ariano, C. Macchiavello
Sealing information means making it publicly available, but with the possibility of knowing if it has been read. Commenting on [1], we will show that perfect quantum sealing is not…
Quantum entanglement enhances the capacity of bosonic channels with memory
Nicolas J. Cerf, Julien Clavareau, Chiara Macchiavello +1
The bosonic quantum channels have recently attracted a growing interest, motivated by the hope that they open a tractable approach to the generally hard problem of evaluating quant…
Cloning transformations in spin networks without external control
G. De Chiara, R. Fazio, C. Macchiavello +2
In this paper we present an approach to quantum cloning with unmodulated spin networks. The cloner is realized by a proper design of the network and a choice of the coupling betwee…
