The relatively low key rate seems to be the major barrier to its practical use for the decoy-
state measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution (MDI-QKD). We present a …

Measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution (MDI-QKD) has been
demonstrated in both laboratories and field tests using attenuated lasers combined with the …

Decoy states have recently been proposed as a useful method for substantially improving
the performance of quantum key distribution (QKD). Here, we present a general theory of the …

To increase dramatically the distance and the secure key generation rate of quantum key
distribution (QKD), the idea of quantum decoys—signals of different intensities—has recently …

A novel protocol, measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution (MDI-QKD),
removes all attacks from the detection system, the most vulnerable part in QKD …

We study decoy-state measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution using
heralded single-photon sources. This has the advantage that the observed error rate in the X …

Decoy-state measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution (MDI-QKD) is
regarded as one of the most promising protocols since it is physically immune to all fatal …

It has been shown that in the asymptotic case of infinite-key length, the 2-decoy state
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) protocol outperforms the 1-decoy state protocol. Here, we …

The decoy-state protocol has been considered to be one of the most important methods to
protect the security of quantum key distribution (QKD) with a weak coherent source. Here we …

Measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution with a finite number of decoy
states is analyzed under finite-data-size assumption. By accounting for statistical fluctuations …
