Finite-key security analysis for multilevel quantum key distribution

We present a detailed security analysis of a d -dimensional quantum key distribution protocol based on two and three mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) both in an asymptotic and finite-key-length scenario. The finite secret key rates (in bits per detected photon) are calculated as a function of the leng...
