The paper shows a general attack on MDI-QKD exploiting active control of the untrusted measurement node to obtain significant secret key information.
Experimental demonstration of 8-state time-bin MDI-QKD yielding secret key rates 3 imes and 2.63 imes higher than standard 2-state encoding at 2 km and 50 km fiber distances.
New combinatorial proofs and circuit designs for quantum error correction reduce physical qubit overhead by up to 10x and time overhead by 2-6x for codes including Steane, Golay, and surface codes.
