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.

Narrow band source of transform-limited photon pairs via four-wave mixing in a cold atomic ensemble.

TL;DR: Narrow band pairs of time-correlated photons from nondegenerate four-wave mixing in a laser-cooled atomic ensemble of ^{87}Rb using a cascade decay scheme are observed, indicating a transform-limited spectrum of the photon pairs.

Phase encoding schemes for measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution with basis-dependent flaw

TL;DR: This work proposes two schemes for the phase encoding, the first one employs a phase locking technique with the use of non-phase-randomized coherent pulses, and the second one uses conversion of standard BB84 phase encoding pulses into polarization modes and proves the unconditional security of these schemes.

A de Finetti representation for finite symmetric quantum states

TL;DR: In this article, the authors generalize the de Finetti representation to the case of finite symmetric quantum states and show that, conditioned on the outcomes of an informationally complete measurement applied to a number of subsystems, the remaining subsystems are close to having product form.

Three-step three-party quantum secure direct communication

TL;DR: A three-party quantum secure direct communication (QSDC) protocol with hyperentanglement in both spatial-mode and polarization degrees of freedom, which has a higher information capacity than other protocols.

Theory of channel simulation and bounds for private communication

TL;DR: In this article, a general weak converse bound for private communication based on the relative entropy of entanglement is proposed, and the authors provide a rigorous proof of the strong converse property of these bounds by adopting a correct use of the Braunstein-Kimble teleportation protocol for the simulation of bosonic Gaussian channels.
