Quantum cryptography: a beautiful idea
GAP Optique Geneva University
• Basic Quantum Mechanics:
• A quantum measurement perturbs the system
QM  limitations
• However, QM gave us the laser, microelectronics, superconductivity, etc.
• New Idea:
Let's exploit QM for secure communications
2
 If Eve tries to eavesdrop a "quantum
communication channel", she has to perform
some measurements on individual quanta (single
photon pulses).
GAP Optique Geneva University
 But, quantum mechanics tells us: every
measurement perturbs the quantum system.
 Hence the "reading" of the "quantum signal" by a
third party reduces the correlation between
Alice's and Bob's data.
 Alice and Bob can thus detect any undesired third
party by comparing (on a public channel) part of
their "quantum signal".
3
 The "quantum communication channel" is
not used to transmit a message
(information), only a "key" is transmitted
(no information).
GAP Optique Geneva University
 If it turns out that the key is corrupted,
they simply disregard this key (no
information is lost).
 If the key passes successfully the control,
Alice and Bob can use it safely.
 Confidentiality of the key is checked before
the message is send.
 The safety of Quantum Cryptography is
based on the root of Quantum Physics.

GAP Optique Geneva University
Modern Cryptology
Secrecy is based on:
Complexity theory
The key is public
Information theory
The key is secrete
The public key contains the
decoding key, but it is very
difficult to find (one way
functions)
The key contains the decoding
key: Only the two partners have
a copy !
The security is not proven (no
one knows whether one way
functions exist)
Example:
127 x 229 = 29083
The security is proven (Shannon
theorem)
Example:
Message:
011001001
Key:
110100110
Coded message: 101101111

Theorem 1: (I. Csiszàr and J. Körner 1978, U. Maurer 1993)
If I(A:B) > min{I(A:E),I(B:E)},
then Alice & Bob can distil a secret key using 1-way
communication over an error free authenticated public channel.
where I(A:B) = Shannon mutual information
= H(A)-H(A|B)
= # bits one can save when writing A
knowing B

GAP Optique Geneva University
Finite-coherent attacks
Theorem 2 (Hall, PRL 74,3307,1995)
Heisenberg uncertainty relation in Shannon-information terms:
I(A:B) + I(A:E) < 2.log(d.c)
where c=maximum overlap of eigenvectors and d is the
dimension of the Hilbert space.
For BB84 with n qubits, d=2n and c=2^(-n/2). Hence,
Theorem 2 reads: I(A:B) + I(A:E) < n
It follows from Csiszàr and Körner theorem that the security
is guaranteed whenever I(A:B) < 1/2 (per qubit)
This corresponds exactly to the bound of the Mayers et al.
proofs, i.e. QBER<11%
Note: same reasoning valid for 6-state protocols, and for higher
dimensions (M. Bourennane et al.).

Quantum Communication

Quantum Communication is the art of transferring a Q state from
one place to another. Example:
GAP Optique Geneva University
• Q cryptography
• Q teleportation

Quantum Information is the art of turning a Q paradox into a
potentially useful task. Example:
• Q communication: from no-cloning to Q crypto
• Q computing: from superpositions to Q parallelism

Note that entanglement and Q nonlocality are always present, at
least implicitely. Though their exact power is not yet fully
understood

Experimental Realization
 Single photon source
GAP Optique Geneva University
• laser pulses strongly attenuated ( 0.1 photon/pulse)
• photon pair source (parametric downconversion)
• true single-photon source
 Polarization or phase control during the
single photon propagation
• parallel transport of the polarization state (Berry topological phase)
 no vibrations
• fluctuations of the birefringence  thermal and mechanical stability
• depolarization  polarization mode dispersion smaller than the
source coherence
• Stability of the interferometers coding for the phase
 Single photon detection
• avalanche photodiode (Germanium or InGaAs) in Geiger mode
 dark counts
• based on supraconductors  requires cryostats

The result m happens with probability Tr( Pm)
Example: unambiguous discrimination between 2 non-orthogonal
Q states
 POVM with 3 outcomes:
1. the state was definitively the first one
2. the state was definitively the second one
3. inconclusive result
 minimal probability of an inconclusive result = (1-sin(a))/2
where cos(a) is the overlap

What is teleported ?
 According to Aristotle, objects are constituted by matter
and form, ie by elementary particles and quantum states.
GAP Optique Geneva University
 Matter and energy can not be teleported from one place to
another: they can not be transferred from one place to
another without passing through intermediate locations.
 However, quantum states, the ultimate structure of
objects, can be teleported. Accordingly, objects can be
transferred from one place to another without ever
existing anywhere in between! But only the structure is
teleported, the matter stays at the source and has to be
already present at the final location.
76
Implications of entanglement
 The world can’t be understood in terms of
GAP Optique Geneva University
“little billiard balls”.
 The world is nonlocal (but the nonlocality can’t
be used to signal faster than light).
 Quantum physics offers new ways of processing
information.

Non-locality according to Newton
GAP Optique Geneva University
 Newton was very conscious of an unpleasant
characteristics of his theory of universal
gravitation :
 A stone moved on the moon would
immediately affect the gravitational field on
earth.
 Newton didn’t like this non-local aspect of his
theory at all, but, due to a lack of alternatives,
physics had to live with it until 1915.
93
GAP Optique Geneva University
Let’s read Newton’s words:
That Gravity should be innate, inherent and essential to
Matter, so that one Body may act upon another at a
Distance thro’ a Vacuum, without the mediation of any
thing else, by and through which their Action and Force
may be conveyed from one to another, is to me so great
an Absurdity, that I believe no Man who has in philosophical
Matters a competent Faculty of thinking, can ever fall into it.
Gravity must be caused by an Agent acting constantly
according to certain Laws, but whether this Agent be
material or immaterial, I have left to the Consideration
of my Readers.

Einstein, the greatest mechanical engineer
GAP Optique Geneva University
 Today, thanks to Einstein, gravitation is no longer
considered as a kind of action at a distance. A
moon-quake triggers a bunch of gravitons that
propagate through space and « informs » Earth.
The propagation is very fast, but at finite speed,
the speed of light, i.e. about 1 second from the
moon to our Earth.
95
Einstein, the greatest mechanical engineer
 In 1905, Einstein also gave a description of
GAP Optique Geneva University
Brownian motion: the statistics of collisions
between invisible atoms and molecules support
the atomic hypothesis:
 Still in 1905, Einstein gave a mechanical
explanation of the photo-electric effect:
96
Classical
physics:
GAP Optique Geneva University
Nature is made out of many
little “billiard balls” that
mechanically bang into
each other
Quantum physics:
Named by historical accident quantum mechanics,
the new physics is precisely characterized by the fact that
it does not provide a mechanical description of Nature
97
Non-locality according to Einstein
GAP Optique Geneva University
 Einstein was very conscious of an "unpleasant"
characteristic of quantum physics :
 Spatially separated systems behave as a single
entity: they are not logically separated.
 Acting “here” has an apparent, immediate, effect
“there”.
 Einstein-Podolski-Rosen argued that this being
obviously impossible, quantum physics is
incomplete.
 Most physicists didn’t like this non-local aspect of
quantum theory, but again, due to a lack of
alternatives, … it remained in the curiosity-lab. 98

Quantum exam #1
GAP Optique Geneva University
 Suppose Alice is asked to output the question
received by Bob, and vice-versa.
 Can they succeed?
 Clearly, not!
Why? Because it would imply signaling
(arbitrarily fast communication) and every
physicists knows – since Einstein – that this is
impossible.
And even long before Einstein, Newton and
others had the strong intuition that signaling is
impossible.
 The relativistic no-signaling condition implies that some
conditional probabilities (i.e. some exams) are
impossible !
101
Quantum exam #2
GAP Optique Geneva University
 Suppose that Alice and Bob are asked to always
output the same answer, whenever they receive
the same question.
 Can they succeed?
 Clearly yes!
It suffice that Alice and Bob prepare a common
strategy before being spatially separated; i.e.
they should prepare one precise answer for each
question.
 Is there an alternative strategy? No, as all
students preparing exams know.
 Some conditional probabilities can be explained in the
frame of classical physics only with common causes.
102
Quantum exam #3: binary case
 But now, assume that A&B should always output the
GAP Optique Geneva University





same value, except when both receive the input 1
Formally a+b=x•y modulo 2
Can they succeed? Note that the exam doesn’t require
signaling.
If A’s output is predetermined by some strategy, then
this would allow signaling.
Consequently, A’s output has to be random. Similarly,
B’s output has to be random.
A and B’s randomness should be the same whenever
x.y=0, but should be opposite whenever x=y=1.
 This is impossible, although there is no signaling.
 How close to a+b=x y can they come?
•
Can they achieve a probability larger than 50%?

A single bit of communication suffice to simulate

But the NL Machine does not allow any communication.
Hence, the NL Machine is a strickly weaker ressource

Simulating partial entanglement
GAP Optique Geneva University
Partially entangled states seem more nonlocal than the max entangled ones !
Partially entangled states are more robust against the
detection loophole (P. H. Eberhard, Phys. Rev. A 47, R747,1993)
Bell inequalities are more violated by partially entangled states
than by max entangled ones (for dim > 2 & all known cases).
When testing Bell inequality, the use of a partially entangled
state provides more information per experimental run
than the use of max entangled states.
(T. Acin, R. Gilles & N. Gisin, PRL 95, 210402, 2005 )

How to prove that some correlation can’t be simulated
with a single use of the nonlocal machine ?
GAP Optique Geneva University
 same idea as Bell inequality, i.e.
1. List all possible strategies
2. Notice that they constitute a convex set
3. Notice that this convex set has a finite number of
extremal points (vertices), i.e. it’s a polytope
4. Find the polytope’s facets
5. Express the facets as inequalities

For given Ai and l, there are 6 extremal local strategies:

3. X=0 and rA=a
5. X=0 and rA=a+1
2. rA=1
4. X=1 and rA=a
6. X=1 and rA=a+1
For 2 settings per side, there are 64 strategies defining
264 different vertices.
The polytope is the same as the “no-signaling polytope”
studied by J. Barrett et al in quant-ph/0404097
Consequently, no quantum state can violate such a
