Continuous variable quantum cryptography using coherent states.
We propose several methods for quantum key distribution (QKD) based on the generation and transmission of random distributions of coherent or squeezed states, and we show that they are secure against individual eavesdropping attacks. These protocols require that the transmission of the optical line between Alice and Bob is larger than 50%, but they do not rely on "sub-shot-noise" features such ...
متن کاملOptimal receiver for quantum cryptography with two coherent states
From the conceptual point of view, the simplest quantum protocol for establishing a cryptographic key is a transmission of a random sequence of two non-orthogonal states [1]. What makes this protocol secure, is the impossibility of discriminating between these two states with certainty. Thus, any attempt of eavesdropping inevitably generates noise in the transmission channel, which can be detec...
متن کاملPractical limitation for continuous-variable quantum cryptography using coherent States.
In this Letter, first, we investigate the security of a continuous-variable quantum cryptographic scheme with a postselection process against individual beam splitting attack. It is shown that the scheme can be secure in the presence of the transmission loss owing to the postselection. Second, we provide a loss limit for continuous-variable quantum cryptography using coherent states taking into...
متن کاملQuantum Cryptography with Squeezed States
A quantum key distribution scheme based on the use of squeezed states is presented. The states are squeezed in one of two field quadrature components, and the value of the squeezed component is used to encode a character from an alphabet. The uncertainty relation between quadrature components prevents an eavesdropper from determining both with enough precision to determine the character being s...
متن کاملA decoy-state protocol for quantum cryptography with 4 intensities of coherent states
We propose a protocol for quantum key distributoin (QKD) with 4 different intensities of pulses. They are vacuum and coherent states with mean photon number μ0, μ1 and μs. μs is around 0.55 and this class of pulses are used as the main signal states. The other two classes of coherent states are used for both decoy and signal. We have shown that, given the typical set-up in practice, the key rat...
