This letter proposes a novel key distribution protocol with no key exchange in advance, which is secure as the BB84 quantum key distribution protocol. Our protocol utilizes a phot...
In this work we present the principles of a flexible quantum key distribution (QKD) system using quadraturephase-shift-keying (QPSK) base and symbol encoding and dualthreshold bala...

Key idea of this work is to appropriately extend one prominent generic agent architecture, namely InteRRap [8], to the case of a quantum pattern matching (QPM) based type-I quantu...
Security of quantum key distribution against sophisticated attacks is among the most important issues in quantum information theory. In this work we prove security against a very ...
