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 secure direct communication with high-dimension quantum superdense coding

TL;DR: A protocol that combines the ideas of block transmission, the ping-pong quantum secure direct communication protocol, and quantum superdense coding has the advantage of being secure and of high source capacity.

A semiconductor source of triggered entangled photon pairs

TL;DR: This work demonstrates triggered photon pair emission from single quantum dots suggestive of polarization entanglement by tuning the splitting to zero, and suggests that a triggered entangled photon pair source could be implemented by a simple semiconductor light-emitting diode.

The SECOQC quantum key distribution network in Vienna

TL;DR: The paper presents the architecture and functionality of the principal networking agent?the SECOQC node module, which enables the authentic classical communication required for key distillation, manages the generated key material, determines a communication path between any destinations in the network, and realizes end-to-end secure transport of key material between these destinations.

Hybrid threshold adaptable quantum secret sharing scheme with reverse Huffman-Fibonacci-tree coding

TL;DR: A novel hybrid threshold adaptable quantum secret sharing scheme, using an m-bonacci orbital angular momentum pump, Lagrange interpolation polynomials, and reverse Huffman-Fibonacci-tree coding, which can detect eavesdropping without joint quantum operations and permits secret sharing for an arbitrary but no less than threshold-value number of classical participants with much lower bandwidth.

Environment-Induced Sudden Death of Entanglement

TL;DR: It is shown that, even when the environment-induced decay of each system is asymptotic, quantum entanglement may suddenly disappear, this “sudden death” constitutes yet another distinct and counterintuitive trait of entangled systems.
