TLDR
Practical application of the generalized Bells theorem in the so-called key distribution process in cryptography is reported, based on the Bohms version of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen gedanken experiment andBells theorem is used to test for eavesdropping.
Abstract
Practical application of the generalized Bells theorem in the so-called key distribution process in cryptography is reported. The proposed scheme is based on the Bohms version of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen gedanken experiment and Bells theorem is used to test for eavesdropping. © 1991 The American Physical Society.

Multiparty quantum secret sharing with pure entangled states and decoy photons

TL;DR: In this article, a scheme for multiparty quantum secret sharing of a private key with pure entangled states and decoy photons was proposed, which requires the parties of communication to have neither an ideal single-photon quantum source nor a maximally entangled one, making this scheme more convenient than others in a practical application.

Macroscopic entanglement and violation of Bell’s inequalities between two spatially separated quantum dots in a planar photonic crystal system

TL;DR: A medium-dependent quantum optics formalism is presented and applied for describing the exciton dynamics of two spatially-separated quantum dots on-chip, in the regime of coupled-cavity quantum electrodynamics, exhibiting pronounced entanglement over distances of 300 microm and more.

Mesoscopic superpositions of vibronic collective states of N trapped ions.

TL;DR: This work proposes a scalable procedure to generate superpositions of motional coherent states and also entangled vibronic states in N trapped ions that may be of interest for quantum information processing and may be used in experimental studies on decoherence.

Wigner tomography of two qubit states and quantum cryptography

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show how the Singapore protocol for key distribution is optimal from this point of view, due to the fact that it is based on so-called symmetric informationally complete positive-operator-valued measure (SIC POVM) qubit tomography which allows the most accurate full tomographic reconstruction of an unknown density matrix on the basis of a restricted set of experimental data.

Test of Bell's inequality using the spin filter effect in ferromagnetic semiconductor microstructures

TL;DR: In this article, the entanglement of two electron spins can be detected in the spin filter effect in the mesoscopic semiconductor / ferromagnetic semiconductor/ semiconductor junction.
