Preparation and characterization of ultra-hydrophobic calcium carbonate nanoparticles
Ahmed Barhoum, S. M. El-Sheikh, F. Morsy +6
Anionic surfactants based on fatty acids are usually used to modify the particle surface properties of CaCO with the aim to enhance its dispersion and compatibility with polyme…
Secure Coherent-state Quantum Key Distribution Protocols with Efficient Reconciliation
G. Van Assche, S. Iblisdir, N. J. Cerf
We study the equivalence between a realistic quantum key distribution protocol using coherent states and homodyne detection and a formal entanglement purification protocol. Maximal…
Side-Information Coding with Turbo Codes and its Application to Quantum Key Distribution
Kim-Chi Nguyen, Gilles Van Assche, Nicolas J. Cerf
Turbo coding is a powerful class of forward error correcting codes, which can achieve performances close to the Shannon limit. The turbo principle can be applied to the problem of…
Security of Quantum Key Distribution with Coherent States and Homodyne Detection
S. Iblisdir, G. Van Assche, N. J. Cerf
We assess the security of a quantum key distribution protocol relying on the transmission of Gaussian-modulated coherent states and homodyne detection. This protocol is shown to be…
Quantum key distribution using gaussian-modulated coherent states
F. Grosshans, G. Van Assche, J. Wenger +3
Quantum continuous variables are being explored as an alternative means to implement quantum key distribution, which is usually based on single photon counting. The former approach…
Reconciliation of a Quantum-Distributed Gaussian Key
G. Van Assche, J. Cardinal, N. J. Cerf
Two parties, Alice and Bob, wish to distill a binary secret key out of a list of correlated variables that they share after running a quantum key distribution protocol based on con…
