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.

Quantum cryptography based on quantum dots

TL;DR: Network protocols are formulated for the phase-coding and correlated-photon-pairs quantum cryptosystems that are free of the restriction imposed on the distance between the two legitimate users by the transmission loss in the optical fiber.

Quantum cryptography with highly entangled photons from semiconductor quantum dots.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors implemented a quantum key distribution with an average quantum bit error rate as low as 1.9% over a time span of 13 hours using a quantum dot source with a fidelity as high as 0.987(8).

Measure-Resend Semi-Quantum Private Comparison Without Entanglement

TL;DR: Compared with the previous SQPC protocols, the advantage of this protocol lies in that it only employs two-particle product states as the initial prepared quantum resource, only requires TP to perform single-photon measurements and does not need quantum entanglement swapping.

Conditional q-entropies and quantum separability: a numerical exploration

TL;DR: In this article, the authors revisited the relationship between quantum separability and the sign of the relative q-entropies of composite quantum systems and performed a systematic numerical survey of the space of mixed states of two-qubit systems in order to determine, as a function of the degree of mixture, and for different values of the entropic parameter q, the volume in state space occupied by those states characterized by positive values of relative entropy.

Quantum key distribution with entangled photons generated on-demand by a quantum dot
