Quantum Flows for Secret Key Distribution in the Presence of the Photon Number Splitting Attack

Quantum Flows for Secret Key Distribution in the Presence of the Photon Number Splitting Attack

Physical implementations of quantum key distribution (QKD) protocols, like the Bennett-Brassard (BB84), are forced to use attenuated coherent quantum states, because the sources of single photon states are not functional yet for QKD applications. However, when using attenuated coherent states, the r...
