Quantum discord as a resource for quantum cryptography
نویسنده
چکیده
Quantum discord is the minimal bipartite resource which is needed for a secure quantum key distribution, being a cryptographic primitive equivalent to non-orthogonality. Its role becomes crucial in device-dependent quantum cryptography, where the presence of preparation and detection noise (inaccessible to all parties) may be so strong to prevent the distribution and distillation of entanglement. The necessity of entanglement is re-affirmed in the stronger scenario of device-independent quantum cryptography, where all sources of noise are ascribed to the eavesdropper.

Dynamics of entangled quantum optical system in independent media
We study the dynamics of two three-level atoms interacting with independent bosonic Lorentzian reservoirs at zero temperature. Such systems can be created in far astronomical objects. Quantum mechanical behaviour of these particles can produce detectable effects on the spectroscopic identifications of these objects, if such behaviour remain stable during the interaction with their media. It is ...
متن کاملCirculant States with Vanishing Quantum Discord
Quantum state of composite system contains both classical and quantum correlation. Usually by quantum correlations one means quantum entanglement which provides an essential resource for quantum information processing such as quantum cryptography, dense coding, quantum computing [1, 2]. However, a quantum state of a composed system may contain other types of nonclassical correlation even if it ...

In this study, we consider a composed system consisting of two identical non-interacting subsystems. Each sub-system is made of a moving qubit into a leaky cavity. The study of the dynamic of the composed system revealed that compared with the stationary qubits, entanglement, quantum discord and coherence between two moving qubits remained close to their initial values as time went by. In parti...
متن کاملNecessary and sufficient condition for nonzero quantum discord.
Quantum discord characterizes "nonclassicality" of correlations in quantum mechanics. It has been proposed as the key resource present in certain quantum communication tasks and quantum computational models without containing much entanglement. We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of nonzero quantum discord for any dimensional bipartite states. This condition is easi...
متن کاملReview of quantum discord in bipartite and multipartite systems
Quantum information and computation, based on quantum correlations of quantum systems, is one of the promising new fields of physics and information science. Entanglement is the key resource of quantum information processing. However, it is shown recently that quantum entanglement is not the only kind of quantum correlations useful for quantum information processing. Quantum systems without any...
