abstract

We present the optimal collective attack on a Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) protocol in the "device-independent" security scenario, where no assumptions are made about the way the QKD devices work or on what quantum system they operate. Our main result is a tight bound on the Holevo information between one of the authorized parties and the eavesdropper, as a function of the amount of violation of a Bell-type inequality.

Generalized measurement incompatibility

quant-ph · 2026-05-15 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Generalized partial joint-measurability of quantum measurements is equivalent to perfect classical guessing by an adversary with side information and is decidable via a single semidefinite program, producing analytical bounds on detection efficiency for quantum cryptography.

  • The minimal example of quantum network Bell nonlocality quant-ph · 2026-05-01 · unverdicted · none · ref 3

    Quantum nonlocality is possible in the triangle network with no inputs and binary outputs, which is the smallest such scenario by number of variables and outcomes.
