Toward Photon-Efficient Key Distribution Over Optical Channels

Toward Photon-Efficient Key Distribution Over Optical Channels

This paper considers the distribution of a secret key over an optical (bosonic) channel in the regime of high photon efficiency, i.e., when the number of secret key bits generated per detected photon is high. While, in principle, the photon efficiency is unbounded, there is an inherent tradeoff betw...
