Efficient semiquantum key distribution based on single photons in both polarization and spatial-mode degrees of freedom

In this paper, we propose an efficient semiquantum key distribution (SQKD) protocol which is based on single photons in both polarization and spatial-mode degrees of freedom. This protocol is feasible for a quantum communicant distributing a random private key to a classical communicant. This protoc...
