Studying free-space transmission statistics and improving free-space quantum key distribution in the turbulent atmosphere by C Erven, B Heim, E Meyer-Scott, J P Bourgoin, R Laflamme, G Weihs, T Jennewein

“…To that end, we first study statistics generated by the turbulent atmosphere in an entanglement-based free-space quantum key distribution (QKD) system. Using the insights gained from this analysis, we study the effect of link fluctuations on the security and key generation rate of decoy state QKD concluding that it has minimal effect in the typical operating regimes. …”

Upper bounds on key rates in device-independent quantum key distribution based on convex-combination attacks by Karol Łukanowski, Maria Balanzó-Juandó, Máté Farkas, Antonio Acín, Jan Kołodyński

“…This imposes a great challenge for determining attainable key rates in $\textit{device-independent quantum key distribution}$ (DIQKD), but also opens the door for consideration of eavesdropping attacks that stem from the possibility of a given data being just generated by a malicious third-party. …”

Floodlight quantum key distribution: A practical route to gigabit-per-second secret-key rates by Zhuang, Quntao, Zhang, Zheshen, Dove, Justin Michael, Wong, Franco N. C., Shapiro, Jeffrey H

“…The channel loss incurred in long-distance transmission places a significant burden on quantum key distribution (QKD) systems: they must defeat a passive eavesdropper who detects all the light lost in the quantum channel and does so without disturbing the light that reaches the intended destination. …”
