Quantum Key Distribution with Nonideal Heterodyne Detection: Composable Security of Discrete-Modulation Continuous-Variable Protocols
Continuous-variable quantum key distribution exploits coherent measurements of the electromagnetic field, i.e., homodyne or heterodyne detection. The most advanced security proofs developed so far have relied on idealized mathematical models for such measurements, which assume that the measurement o...
