Preparing a commercial quantum key distribution system for certification against implementation loopholes

Vadim Makarov, Alexey Abrikosov, Poompong Chaiwongkhot +9

A commercial quantum key distribution (QKD) system needs to be formally certified to enable its wide deployment. The certification should include the system's robustness against kn…

Hybrid Quantum-Classical Algorithms for Loan Collection Optimization with Loan Loss Provisions

Jirawat Tangpanitanon, Jirawat Saiphet, Pantita Palittapongarnpim +6

Banks are required to set aside funds in their income statement, known as a loan loss provision (LLP), to account for potential loan defaults and expenses. By treating the LLP as a…

Faking photon number on a transition-edge sensor

Poompong Chaiwongkhot, Jiaqiang Zhong, Anqi Huang +3

We study potential security vulnerabilities of a single-photon detector based on superconducting transition-edge sensor. In a simple experiment, we show that an adversary could fak…

Eavesdropper's ability to attack a free-space quantum-key-distribution receiver in atmospheric turbulence

Poompong Chaiwongkhot, Katanya B. Kuntz, Yanbao Zhang +6

The ability of an eavesdropper (Eve) to perform an intercept-resend attack on a free-space quantum key distribution (QKD) receiver by precisely controlling the incidence angle of a…

Eavesdropping and countermeasures for backflash side channel in quantum cryptography

Paulo Vinicius Pereira Pinheiro, Poompong Chaiwongkhot, Shihan Sajeed +5

Quantum key distribution (QKD) promises information theoretic secure key as long as the device performs as assumed in the theoretical model. One of the assumptions is an absence of…

Finite-key-size effect in commercial plug-and-play QKD system

Poompong Chaiwongkhot, Shihan Sajeed, Lars Lydersen +1

A security evaluation against the finite-key-size effect was performed for a commercial plug-and-play quantum key distribution (QKD) system. We demonstrate the ability of an eavesd…

Creation of backdoors in quantum communications via laser damage

Vadim Makarov, Jean-Philippe Bourgoin, Poompong Chaiwongkhot +7

Practical quantum communication (QC) protocols are assumed to be secure provided implemented devices are properly characterized and all known side channels are closed. We show that…

Security loophole in free-space quantum key distribution due to spatial-mode detector-efficiency mismatch

Shihan Sajeed, Poompong Chaiwongkhot, Jean-Philippe Bourgoin +3

In free-space quantum key distribution (QKD), the sensitivity of the receiver's detector channels may depend differently on the spatial mode of incoming photons. Consequently, an a…
