Numerical approach for unstructured quantum key distribution
Calculating the secret key rate for a given quantum key distribution protocol is challenging. Here the authors develop a numerical approach for calculating the key rate for arbitrary discrete-variable QKD protocols, which could lead to automated security analysis of realistic systems.
