Proof of unconditional security of six-state quatum key distribution scheme
We prove the unconditional security of the standard six-state scheme for quantum key distribution (QKD). We demonstrate its unconditional security up to a bit error rate of 12.7 percents, by allowing only one-way classical communications in the error ...
Quantum correlation swapping
Quantum correlations (QCs), including quantum entanglement and those different, are important quantum resources and have attracted much attention recently. Quantum entanglement swapping as a kernel technique has already been applied to quantum repeaters ...
Can quantum discord increase in a quantum communication task?
Quantum teleportation of an unknown quantum state is one of the few communication tasks which has no classical counterpart. Usually the aim of teleportation is to send an unknown quantum state to a receiver. But is it possible in some way that the ...
