چکیده
The safety of a quantum key distribution system relies on the fact that any eavesdropping attempt on the quantum channel creates errors in the transmission. For a given error rate, the amount of information that may have leaked to the eavesdropper depends on both the particular system and the eavesdropping strategy. In this work, we discuss quantum cryptographic protocols based on the transmission of weak coherent states and present a new system, based on a symbiosis of two existing ones, and for which the information available to the eavesdropper is significantly reduced. This system is therefore safer than the two previous ones. We also suggest a possible 1 experimental implementation.

A recent result about measurability of a quantum state of a single quantum system is generalized to the case of a single pre-and post-selected quantum system, described by a two-state vector. The protection required for such measurement is achieved by coupling the quantum system to a pre-and post-selected protected device yielding a nonhermitian effective Hamiltonian.

The newly developed iterative method based on Green function defined by quadratures along a single trajectory is combined with the variational method to solve the ground state quantum wave function for central potentials. As an example , the method is applied to discuss the ground state solution of Yukawa potential, using Hulthen solution as the trial function.

Spin coherent states play a crucial role in defining QESM (quasi-exactly solvable models) establishing a strict correspondence between energy spectra of spin systems and low-lying quantum states for a particle moving in a potential field of a certain form. Spin coherent states are also used for finding the Wigner-Kirkwood expansion and quantum corrections to energy quantization rules. The close...
