Receiver-device-independent quantum key distribution protocols
New Journal of Physics, 2022 We discuss quantum key distribution protocols and their security analysis, considering a receiver-device-independent (RDI) model. The sender’s (Alice’s) device is partially characterized, in the sense that we assume bounds on the overlaps of the prepared

Lightweight Authentication for Quantum Key Distribution [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 2020 Quantum key distribution (QKD) enables unconditionally secure communication between distinct parties using a quantum channel and an authentic public channel. Reducing the portion of quantum-generated secret keys, that is consumed during the authentication procedure, is of significant importance for improving the performance of QKD systems.

Twin-field quantum key distribution with passive-decoy state
New Journal of Physics, 2020 Twin-Field quantum key distribution (TF-QKD) and its variants, e.g. phase-maching QKD, sending-or-not-sending QKD, and no phase post-selection TFQKD promise high key rates at long distance to beat the rate distance limit without a repeater.

SECURITY OF QUANTUM KEY DISTRIBUTION [PDF]
International Journal of Quantum Information, 2008 Quantum Information Theory is an area of physics which studies both fundamental and applied issues in quantum mechanics from an information-theoretical viewpoint. The underlying techniques are, however, often restricted to the analysis of systems which satisfy a certain independence condition.

Quantum and Semi–Quantum key Distribution in Networks
International Journal of Theoretical Physics, 2023 In this paper, we utilize the potential offered by multidimensional separable states (MSS) for secure and simultaneous distributions of keys in a layered network. We present protocols for both quantum and semi-quantum key distribution and discuss their robustness against various eavesdropping strategies. We provide a procedure to identify the requisite

Phase-Matching Quantum Key Distribution
Physical Review X, 2018 Quantum key distribution allows remote parties to generate information-theoretic secure keys. The bottleneck throttling its real-life applications lies in the limited communication distance and key generation speed, due to the fact that the information ...

Practical issues of twin-field quantum key distribution
New Journal of Physics, 2019 Twin-field quantum key distribution(TF-QKD) protocol and its variants, such as phase-matching QKD, sending-or-not-sending QKD and no phase post-selection TF-QKD(NPP-TFQKD), are very promising for long-distance applications.

Fully Passive Quantum Key Distribution
Physical Review Letters, 2023 Passive implementations of quantum key distribution (QKD) sources are highly desirable as they eliminate side-channels that active modulators might introduce. Up till now, passive decoy-state and passive encoding BB84 schemes have both been proposed.
