متن کاملSe p 19 98 Sending quantum information with Gaussian states
1 Information characteristics of a quantum channel During the last couple of years an impressive progress has been achieved in the theory of transmission of classical information through quantum communication channels (see [8] for a comprehensive survey). The problem of sending quantum information is much less understood; we refer in particular to the papers [10], [2], [1], initiating the study...
متن کاملQuantum key distribution using polarized coherent states
We discuss a continuous variables method of quantum key distribution employing strongly polarized coherent states of light. The key encoding is performed using the variables known as Stokes parameters, rather than the field quadratures. Their quantum counterpart, the Stokes operatorsˆSi (i=1,2,3), constitute a set of non-commuting operators, being the precision of simultaneous measurements of a...
متن کاملSecurity of quantum key distribution using weak coherent states with nonrandom phases
We prove the security of the Bennett-Brassard (BB84) quantum key distribution protocol in the case where the key information is encoded in the relative phase of a coherent-state reference pulse and a weak coherent-state signal pulse, as in some practical implementations of the protocol. In contrast to previous work, our proof applies even if the eavesdropper knows the phase of the reference pul...
متن کاملSending entanglement through noisy quantum channels.
This paper addresses some general questions of quantum information theory arising from the transmission of quantum entanglement through (possibly noisy) quantum channels. A pure entangled state is prepared of a pair of systems R and Q, after which Q is subjected to a dynamical evolution given by the superoperator $. Two interesting quantities can be defined for this process: the entanglement fi...
