Device-independent quantum key distribution based on measurement inputs
PublicationWe provide an analysis of a family of device-independent quantum key distribution (QKD) protocols that has the following features. (a) The bits used for the secret key do not come from the results of the measurements on an entangled state but from the choices of settings. (b) Instead of a single security parameter (a violation of some Bell inequality) a set of them is used to estimate the level of trust in the secrecy of the key....

Quantum key distribution based on private states: Unconditional security over untrusted channels with zero quantum capacity
PublicationIn this paper, we prove unconditional security for a quantum key distribution (QKD) protocol based on distilling pbits (twisted ebits) from an arbitrary untrusted state that is claimed to contain distillable key. Our main result is that we can verify security using only public communication-via parameter estimation of the given untrusted state. The technique applies even to bound-entangled states, thus extending QKD to the regime...

Unifying classical and quantum key distillation
PublicationPrzypuśćmy, że dwie oddalone od siebie osoby, Alicja i Bob, oraz osoba z nimi niewspółpracująca, Ewa, mają dostęp do systemów kwantowych przygotowanych w stanie rho_ABE. Ponadto Alicja i Bob mogą używać lokalnych operacji i uwiarygodnionej komunikacji publicznej. Celem Alicji i Boba jest ustanowienie klucza, który nie będzie znany Ewie. Nasze badania inicjują podejście do wspomnianego zagadnienia oparte na unifikacji dwóch standardowych...

General paradigm for distilling classical key from quantum states
PublicationIn this paper, we develop a formalism for distilling aclassical key from a quantum state in a systematic way, expandingon our previous work on a secure key from bound entanglement(Horodecki et al., 2005). More detailed proofs, discussion, andexamples are provided of the main results. Namely, we demonstratethat all quantum cryptographic protocols can be recast in away which looks like entanglement theory, with the only changebeing...

On the distillation of cryptographic key from multipartie entangled quantum states
PublicationCelem pracy było uzupełnienie ogólnego paradygmatu destylacji bezpiecznego klucza kryptograficznego z dwucząstkowych stanów splątanych, a w szczegolności znalezienie nowych konstrukcji stanów kwantowych o splątaniu związanym z niezerowym destylowanym kluczem kryptograficznym. Kolejnym celem pracy było uogólnienie powyższego paradygmatu dwucząstkowego na przypadek wielu cząstek. W szczególności sformułowanie definicji wielocząstkowych...

Applications of semi-definite optimization in quantum information protocols
PublicationThis work is concerned with the issue of applications of the semi-definite programming (SDP) in the field of quantum information sci- ence. Our results of the analysis of certain quantum information protocols using this optimization technique are presented, and an implementation of a relevant numerical tool is introduced. The key method used is NPA discovered by Navascues et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 010401 (2007)]. In chapter...

Progress towards a unified approach to entanglement distribution
PublicationEntanglement distribution is key to the success of secure communication schemes based on quantum mechanics, and there is a strong need for an ultimate architecture able to overcome the limitations of recent proposals such as those based on entanglement percolation or quantum repeaters. In this work we provide a broad theoretical background for the development of such technologies. In particular, we investigate the question of whether...

Increased Certification of Semi-device Independent Random Numbers using Many Inputs and More Postprocessing
PublicationQuantum communication with systems of dimension larger than two provides advantages in information processing tasks. Examples include higher rates of key distribution and random number generation. The main disadvantage of using such multi-dimensional quantum systems is the increased complexity of the experimental setup. Here, we analyze a not-so-obvious problem: the relation between randomness certification and computational requirements...

Elemental and tight monogamy relations in nonsignaling theories
PublicationPhysical principles constrain the way nonlocal correlations can be distributed among distant parties. These constraints are usually expressed by monogamy relations that bound the amount of Bell inequality violation observed among a set of parties by the violation observed by a different set of parties. We prove here that much stronger monogamy relations are possible for nonsignaling correlations by showing how nonlocal correlations...

Quantum privacy witness
PublicationWhile it is usually known that the mean value of a single observable is enough to detect entanglement or its distillability, the counterpart of such an approach in the case of quantum privacy has been missing. Here we develop the concept of a privacy witness, i.e., a single observable that may detect the presence of the secure key even in the case of bound entanglement. Then we develop the notion of secret-key estimation based...
