Journal ArticleDOI
Hacking commercial quantum cryptography systems by tailored bright illumination
Lars Lydersen,Lars Lydersen,Carlos Wiechers,Carlos Wiechers,Carlos Wiechers,Christoffer Wittmann,Dominique Elser,Johannes Skaar,Johannes Skaar,Vadim Makarov +9 more
TL;DR: By using bright pulses of light to ‘blind’ the avalanche photodiode detectors used in quantum cryptography equipment, scientists in Europe have shown that it is possible to tracelessly steal the secret encryption key generated by such systems and thus compromise their security.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantum teleportation over 143 kilometres using active feed-forward
Xiao-song Ma,Xiao-song Ma,Xiao-song Ma,Thomas Herbst,Thomas Herbst,Thomas Scheidl,Daqing Wang,Sebastian Kropatschek,William Naylor,Bernhard Wittmann,Bernhard Wittmann,Alexandra Mech,Alexandra Mech,Johannes Kofler,Elena Anisimova,Vadim Makarov,Thomas Jennewein,Thomas Jennewein,Rupert Ursin,Anton Zeilinger,Anton Zeilinger +20 more
TL;DR: The quality of the quantum teleportation procedure without feed-forward is confirmed, well beyond the classical limit of two-thirds, and the maturity and applicability of such technologies in real-world scenarios are verified, in particular for future satellite-based quantum teleportation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Full-field implementation of a perfect eavesdropper on a quantum cryptography system
Ilja Gerhardt,Qin Liu,Antia Lamas-Linares,Johannes Skaar,Johannes Skaar,Christian Kurtsiefer,Vadim Makarov +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that non-idealities in physical implementations of QKD can be fully practically exploitable, and must be given increased scrutiny if quantum cryptography is to become highly secure.

Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of detector efficiency mismatch on security of quantum cryptosystems
TL;DR: For the Bennett-Brassard 1984 (BB84) protocol, it is shown that if the efficiency mismatch between 0 and 1 detectors for some value of the control parameter gets large enough, Eve can construct a successful faked-states attack causing a quantum bit error rate lower than 11%.
