چکیده
This paper proposes a quantum key distribution (QKD) scheme for measurement-device-independent QKD (MDI-QKD) utilizing memory (QM), which is based on two distinct functions of QM: on-demand storage and multimode storage. We demonstrate nonlinear increase in the secure rate due to utilization QM. In protocol incorporating storage, it acknowledged that scaled by $R=O(\sqrt{\eta_{ch}})$ as $\eta_{ch}$, while an alternative approach, we reveal improvement $O(m_s^2)$, with $m_s$ being number modes frequency (spatial) multiplexing adopt atomic comb QM incorporates propose architecture MDI-QKD attain experimental feasibility. can be extended repeaters, even single quantum-repeater node, there enhancement incentive modes.

Experimental measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution.
Quantum key distribution is proven to offer unconditional security in communication between two remote users with ideal source and detection. Unfortunately, ideal devices never exist in practice and device imperfections have become the targets of various attacks. By developing up-conversion single-photon detectors with high efficiency and low noise, we faithfully demonstrate the measurement-dev...
متن کاملFinite-key analysis for measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution.
Quantum key distribution promises unconditionally secure communications. However, as practical devices tend to deviate from their specifications, the security of some practical systems is no longer valid. In particular, an adversary can exploit imperfect detectors to learn a large part of the secret key, even though the security proof claims otherwise. Recently, a practical approach--measuremen...
متن کاملDevice-independent quantum key distribution
Quantum key distribution allows two parties connected by a quantum channel to establish a secret key that is unknown to any unauthorized third party. The secrecy of this key is based on the laws of quantum physics. For security, however, it is crucial that the honest parties are able to control their physical devices accurately and completely. The goal of device-independent quantum key distribu...
متن کاملPractical aspects of measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution
A novel protocol, measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution (MDI-QKD), removes all attacks from the detection system, the most vulnerable part in QKD implementations. In this paper, we present an analysis for practical aspects of MDI-QKD. To evaluate its performance, we study various error sources by developing a general system model. We find that MDI-QKD is highly practical and t...
