Security against individual attacks for realistic quantum key distribution
Open accessAbstract
I prove the security of quantum key distribution against individual attacks for realistic signals sources, including weak coherent pulses and down-conversion sources. The proof applies to the Bennett-Brassard 1984 protocol with the standard detection scheme (no strong reference pulse). I obtain a formula for the secure bit rate per time slot of an experimental setup, which can be used to optimize the performance of existing schemes for the considered scenario.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
