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.

Joint measurements of spin, operational locality, and uncertainty

TL;DR: In this paper, a spin-1/2 particle was measured along any two directions, and it was shown how to obtain a bound on how sharp the joint measurement can be.

Efficient W-state entanglement concentration using quantum-dot and optical microcavities

TL;DR: In this paper, an entanglement concentration protocol (ECP) for the less-entangled W-state with quantum-dot and microcavity coupled systems was presented, which uses quantum nondemolition measurement on the spin parity to construct the hybrid parity check gate.

Quantum from Principles

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors defined a class of theories of information, which are extensions of probability theory in which events can be connected into networks, and formulated the six principles as rules governing the control and the accessibility of information.
