Sending-or-Not-Sending with Independent Lasers: Secure Twin-Field Quantum Key Distribution over 509 km

Measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution over 200 km.

Measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution (MDIQKD) protocol is immune to all attacks on detection and guarantees the information-theoretical security even with imperfect single-photon detectors. Recently, several proof-of-principle demonstrations of MDIQKD have been achieved. Those experiments, although novel, are implemented through limited distance with a key rate less than 0.1 ...

Sending 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...

Se 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...

Sending signals dynamically.

Proteins mediate transmission of signals along intercellular and intracellular pathways and between the exterior and the interior of a cell. The dynamic properties of signaling proteins are crucial to their functions. We discuss emerging paradigms for the role of protein dynamics in signaling. A central tenet is that proteins fluctuate among many states on evolutionarily selected energy landsca...
