Comparison of Discrete Variable and Continuous Variable Quantum Key Distribution Protocols with Phase Noise in the Thermal-Loss Channel [PDF]

open access: yesQuantum
Discrete-variable (DV) quantum key distribution (QKD) based on single-photon detectors and sources have been successfully deployed for long-range secure key distribution. On the other hand, continuous-variable (CV) quantum key distribution (QKD) based on

Prefixed-Threshold Real-Time Selection for Free-Space Sending-or-Not Twin-Field Quantum Key Distribution

open access: yesEntropy, 2022
As a variant of the twin-field quantum key distribution (TF-QKD), the sending-or-not twin-field quantum key distribution (SNS TF-QKD) is famous for its higher tolerance of misalignment error, in addition to the capacity of surpassing the rate–distance ...

Antihypertensive treatment decreases arterial stiffness at night but not during the day. Results from the Hypertension in the Very Elderly Trial

open access: yesBlood Pressure, 2017
The main Hypertension in the Very Elderly Trial (HYVET) demonstrated a very marked reduction in cardiovascular events by treating hypertensive participants 80 years or older with a low dose, sustained release prescription of indapamide (indapamide SR, 1 ...

On single-photon quantum key distribution in the presence of loss [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We investigate two-way and one-way single-photon quantum key distribution (QKD) protocols in the presence of loss introduced by the quantum channel. Our analysis is based on a simple precondition for secure QKD in each case. In particular, the legitimate

Qkd@Edge: Online Admission Control of Edge Applications with QKD-secured Communications

open access: yes2023 IEEE International Conference on Smart Computing (SMARTCOMP), 2023
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) enables secure communications via the exchange of cryptographic keys exploiting the properties of quantum mechanics. Nowadays the related technology is mature enough for production systems, thus field deployments of QKD networks are expected to appear in the near future, starting from local/metropolitan settings, where ...

Continuous-Variable Entanglement Swapping

open access: yesEntropy, 2015
We present a very brief overview of entanglement swapping as it relates to continuous-variable quantum information. The technical background required is discussed and the natural link to quantum teleportation is established before discussing the nature ...

Hybrid Continuous-discrete Variable Quantum Key Distribution

open access: yesGuangtongxin yanjiu, 2023
As one of the main applications of quantum cryptography, Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is a promising secure key transmission method. Compared with traditional communication methods, QKD protocols based on the basic principles of quantum mechanics have ...

Measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution with leaky sources

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution (MDI-QKD) can remove all detection side-channels from quantum communication systems. The security proofs require, however, that certain assumptions on the sources are satisfied.

On QKD Industrialization

open access: yes, 2010
During the 25 years of existence of the first protocol for Quantum Key Distribution, much has been said and expected of what came to be termed as Quantum Cryptography. After all this time, much progress has been done but also the reality check and analysis that naturally comes with maturity is underway.

On the Discretized Gaussian Modulation (DGM)- Based Continuous Variable-QKD

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
To overcome the low reconciliation efficiency problem of Gaussian modulation (GM)-based-continuous variable (CV)-quantum key distribution (QKD), in this paper, we propose to use discretized GM (DGM)-based-CV-QKD. The proposed CV-QKD scheme has complexity
