Sun Yat-sen University researchers developed a distributed quantum algorithm solving the discrete logarithm problem with O(2m+n) space complexity—vs Shor's O(3m)—using iterative set intersection across QPUs, no quantum communication required.
#QuantumCryptography #QuantumAlgorithms #News
Researchers propose a distributed quantum algorithm for the discrete logarithm problem that reduces register size below Shor's O(3m) to O(2m+n+1), improves success probability, and requires only classical communication between QPUs.

HOM interference used to verify pulse indistinguishability in a 1.25 GHz decoy BB84 QKD transmitter. Visibility ~0.3 across all BB84 state pairs with no statistically significant differences, confirming modulation does not compromise security.

Anhui University researchers show just 1% measurement error invalidates quantum steering certification in 10D systems. Error sensitivity scales as O(d³), with multipartite systems even more vulnerable—demanding >99% device trust for secure quantum comms.

BB84-style QKD with pairwise additive masking secures federated learning for 6G tasks, achieving NMSE 0.216 & 92.1% radar accuracy—matching plain FL—while QBER-based abort blocks all eavesdropper intercept-resend attacks.
#QuantumCryptography #FederatedLearning #Research
Three strategies for distance-adaptive CV-QKD are experimentally validated: modulation variance tuning (reach to 79km), trusted detector loss (47.7km), and rate-adaptive RL-LDPC FEC (near-asymptotic SKR across wide distance range).
#CVQKD #QuantumCryptography #Research
Proves all star-incompatible quantum measurements can certify steering-based randomness in one-sided device-independent protocols, establishing a full equivalence and providing quantitative bounds via a new star-incompatibility weight measure.

Injection-locked DFB lasers enable 4D time-bin BB84 QKD over 250 km fiber—a record for HD schemes—delivering 4.33 kbps at 200 km and 422 bps at 250 km, outperforming 2D encoding without external modulators.
#QuantumCryptography #QKD #Research
Trusted noise injection in BB84 QKD improves finite-size key rates at high QBER, reducing minimum block size by orders of magnitude near the 11% threshold, but only within a limited Rényi order range (α→1 to α≃1.4).
#QuantumCryptography #QKD #Research
Novel 4-party QKD protocol exploiting full network nonlocality achieves QBER below 13.7%, outperforming Bell-CHSH-based protocols (14.6%), by using trilocal inequality violation for eavesdropper detection in star-shaped quantum networks.

4-channel FDM CV-QKD system achieves 3.7× secret key rate gain over single-channel baseline, outperforming up to 41.1 km. Dense low-symbol-rate multiplexing proves superior to high-baud single-channel approaches within shot-noise-dominant bandwidth.

A numerical SDP-based framework for QKD key rates under physically restricted eavesdropping confirms SP-BB84 gains no benefit from bypass constraints, but finds improvements with detector efficiency mismatch and weak coherent pulse protocols in satellite QKD.
#QuantumCryptography #QKD #SatelliteQKD
Numerical analysis of BB84, SARG04, and NPAB BB84 QKD protocols using WCP without decoy states reveals SARG04 excels in high-loss channels, BB84 in noisy channels, and new NPAB BB84 outperforms both under physical misalignment.

A novel ε-ASU₂-based 'authentication-with-response' scheme achieves mutual QKD authentication using a single one-time key per round—halving overhead vs. state-of-the-art—with security formally established under the Universal Composability framework.
