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.

Fundamental rate-loss trade-off for the quantum internet

TL;DR: This work derives a fundamental rate-loss trade-off for a quantum internet protocol, by generalizing the Takeoka–Guha–Wilde bound to be applicable to any network topology, and enables to grasp the potential of the future quantum internet.

High-brightness single photon source from a quantum dot in a directional-emission nanocavity

TL;DR: The perturbed PC cavity design improves the collection efficiency into an objective lens, and improves the coupling efficiency of the collected light into a single mode fiber, for local optical excitation of cavity-coupled quantum dots.

Resource Theory of Quantum Memories and Their Faithful Verification with Minimal Assumptions

TL;DR: A complete set of game-theoretic conditions equivalent to the existence of a transformation from one quantum channel into another one, by means of classically correlated pre/post processing maps only, are provided, mirroring the resource theory of entanglement in quantum states.

Entangled Bessel-Gaussian beams

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the Bessel-Gaussian (BG) basis for OAM entanglement and showed that the OAM bandwidth in terms of BG modes can be increased by selection of particular radial wavevectors and leads to a flattening of the spectrum, which allows for higher dimensionality in the entangled state.
