چکیده
We show the equivalence of two approaches to the design of entanglement distillation protocols. The first approach is based on local unitary operations that yield permutations of tensor products of Bell states. The second approach is based on stabilizer codes.

Interpolation of recurrence and hashing entanglement distillation protocols
We construct new entanglement distillation protocols by interpolating between the recurrence and hashing protocols. This leads to asymptotic two-way distillation protocols, resulting in an improvement of the distillation rate for all mixed Bell diagonal entangled states, even for the ones with very high fidelity. We also present a method how entanglement-assisted distillation protocols can be c...
متن کاملEntanglement and the geometry of two qubits
We review entanglement in the context of two qubits. Equivalence under appropriate local operations leads to a representation of the notions of entangled and separable states and entanglement witnesses geometrically in 3 dimensions. The corresponding four dimensional description captures, in addition, the entanglement measure and en-tanglement distillation geometrically. We give a neat formula ...
متن کاملSecurity bound of two-basis quantum-key-distribution protocols using qudits
We investigate the security bounds of quantum-cryptographic protocols using d-level systems. In particular, we focus on schemes that use two mutually unbiased bases, thus extending the Bennett-Brassard 1984 quantum-key-distribution scheme to higher dimensions. Under the assumption of general coherent attacks, we derive an analytic expression for the ultimate upper security bound of such quantum...

We report that, for the generation of a secure cryptographic key from correlations established through a noisy quantum channel, the quantum and classical advantage distillation procedures are not equivalent, when coherent eavesdropping attacks are duly taken into account. The quantum procedure can tolerate markedly more noise in the channel than the classical procedure. One of the important pro...
متن کاملTomographic quantum cryptography: equivalence of quantum and classical key distillation.
The security of a cryptographic key that is generated by communication through a noisy quantum channel relies on the ability to distill a shorter secure key sequence from a longer insecure one. For an important class of protocols, which exploit tomographically complete measurements on entangled pairs of any dimension, we show that the noise threshold for classical advantage distillation is iden...
