Direct and Reverse Secret-Key Capacities of a Quantum Channel
TL;DR: In this article, the reverse secret-key capacity of a memoryless quantum channel was shown to be positive for antidegradable channels, where no forward strategy is known to be secure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Entanglement-enhanced testing of multiple quantum hypotheses
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that using entangled photons at the input and a generalized form of conditional nulling receiver at the output can significantly boost the discrimination of multiple bosonic channels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-Distance Continuous-Variable Quantum Key Distribution With Quantum Scissors
TL;DR: In this article, the secret key generation rate for a protocol that uses quantum scissors was investigated and it was shown that for certain non-zero values of excess noise, such a protocol can reach longer distances than the counterpart with no amplification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Continuous-variable quantum key distribution in uniform fast-fading channels
TL;DR: This work assumes the worst-case scenario where an eavesdropper has full control of a fast fading process, so that she chooses the instantaneous transmissivity of a channel, while the remote parties can only detect the mean statistical process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultimate Limits for Multiple Quantum Channel Discrimination.
Quntao Zhuang,Stefano Pirandola +1 more
TL;DR: This Letter establishes a lower limit for the ultimate error probability affecting the discrimination of an arbitrary number of quantum channels, and shows that this lower bound is achievable when the channels have certain symmetries.
