Certifying the Building Blocks of Quantum Computers from Bell’s Theorem

Pavel Sekatski, Jean-Daniel Bancal, Sebastian Wagner +1 more

Bell's theorem has been proposed to certify, in a device-independent and robust way, blocks either producing or measuring quantum states. In this Letter, we provide a method based on Bell's theorem to certify coherent operations for the storage, processing, and transfer of quantum information. This completes the set of tools needed to certify all building blocks of a quantum computer. Our method distinguishes itself by its robustness to experimental imperfections, and so could be used to certify that today's quantum devices are qualified for usage in future quantum computers.

Quantum cryptography without Bell’s theorem

Charles H. Bennett, Gilles Brassard A, N. David Mermin

Ekert has described a cryptographic scheme in which Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) pairs of particles are used to generate identical random numbers in remote places, while Bell's theorem certifies that the particles have not been measured in transit by an eavesdropper. We describe a related but simpler EPR scheme and, without invoking Bell's theorem, prove it secure against more general attacks, including substitution of a fake EPR source. Finally we show our scheme is equivalent to the original 1984 key distribution scheme of Bennett and Brassard, which uses single particles instead of EPR pairs.

The attack strategy for a quantum key distribution protocol based on Bell’s theorem

Chan Myae Hein, T. F. Kamalov

Abstract A new eavesdropping strategy is proposed for the Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) protocol. This scheme represents a new kind of intercept/resend strategy based on Bell’s theorem. Quantum key distribution (QKD) provides the foremost reliable form of secure key exchange, using only the input-output statistics of the devices to realize information-theoretic security. In this paper, we present an improved QKD protocol that can simultaneously distribute the quantum secret key. We are already using the QKD protocol with simulated results matched completely with the theoretical concepts.
