چکیده
We proposed a new scheme for quantum key distribution based on entanglement swapping. By this protocol Alice can securely share a random quantum key with Bob, without transporting any particle.

Comment on “A Random Quantum Key Distribution Achieved by Using Bell States”
In a recent paper [J. Opt. B: Quantum Semiclass. Opt. 5 (2003) 155-157], a quantum key distribution scheme based on entanglement swapping was proposed, which exhibited two improvements over the previous protocols. In this Comment, it is shown that the scheme has no properties as been discussed.
متن کاملExperimenter’s Freedom in Bell’s Theorem and Quantum Cryptography
Bell’s theorem states that no local realistic explanation of quantum mechanical predictions is possible, in which the experimenter has a freedom to choose between different measurement settings. Within a local realistic picture the violation of Bell’s inequalities can only be understood if this freedom is denied. We determine the minimal degree to which the experimenter’s freedom has to be aban...
متن کاملCoherent state quantum key distribution based on entanglement sudden death
A method for quantum key distribution (QKD) using entangled coherent states is discussed which is designed to provide key distribution rates and transmission distances surpassing those of traditional entangled photon pair QKD by exploiting entanglement sudden death. The method uses entangled electromagnetic signal states of ‘macroscopic’ average photon numbers rather than single photon or entan...
متن کاملQuantum Key Distribution using Entanglement Swapping
Cryptography has been one of the most fruitful applications coming out of quantum information theory and it appears to be practically implementible in the nearest future among quantum technology [1]. A number of cryptographic key distribution protocols based on quantum mechanics have been proposed. Bennett and Brassard [2] were the first to propose a quantum based key distribution (called BB84)...
متن کاملQuantum Key Distribution for d-level systems with Generalized Bell States
We introduce a generalization of Hadamard and the controlled not gates which together with the generalized Bell states, enable us to introduce new methods for quantum key distribution (QKD) of d-level quantum states (qudits). In case of eavesdropping, an error rate of d−1 d is introduced in Bob’s received qudits, so that for large d, comparison of only a tiny fraction of received qudits with th...
