We report an alternative scheme for implementing generalized quantum measurements that
does not require the usage of an auxiliary system. Our method utilizes solely (a) classical …

In this paper, a continuous variable B92 quantum key distribution protocol is proposed using
single photon added and subtracted coherent states, which are prepared by adding and …

In this paper, we compare two solutions (well known and newly proposed) for subcarrier
wave quantum key distribution systems that decrease the crucial impact of the errorless …

In this paper we investigate the advanced unambiguous state discrimination (USD) attack
that is crucial for quantum key distribution based on phase-coded coherent states …

Quantum state discrimination is a central task in many quantum computing settings where
one wishes to identify what quantum state they are holding. We introduce a framework that …

Unconditionally secure key distribution is impossible using classical communication only.
However, by providing Alice and Bob with quantum capable hardware the task becomes …

Key distribution allows two parties to produce and share a random secret key, which can
then be used to encrypt and decrypt messages with symmetric cryptosystems. Thus, this is …

In this paper, we consider the influence of device imperfections on the performance of the
subcarrier wave quantum key distribution system. For instance, we consider the utilization of …

Abstract Photon‐number‐splitting (PNS) is a well‐known theoretical attack on quantum key
distribution (QKD) protocols that employ weak coherent states produced by attenuated laser …

In this paper we present the approach for description of quantum control attack based on
combined protocol and hardware loopholes. It consolidates intercept-resend attack and …
