Ciao a tutti, Tomorrow, 3 May, at 14:30 in D5.01 we are happy to welcome Giacomo Carrara from Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf to the CQI seminar as a guest speaker. Giacomo will talk about his work on twin-field quantum key distribution, title and abstract below. As always you can join us online at https://meet.jit.si/cqi-demon-M6QW9V7YY. Looking forward to seeing you there, Will Speaker: Giacomo Carrara Title: Overcoming fundamental bounds on quantum conference key agreement Abstract: Twin-Field Quantum Key Distribution (TF-QKD) enables two distant parties to establish a shared secret key, by interfering weak coherent pulses (WCPs) in an intermediate measuring station. This allows TF-QKD to reach greater distances than traditional QKD schemes and makes it the only scheme capable of beating the repeaterless bound on the bipartite private capacity. Here, we generalize TF-QKD to the multipartite scenario. Specifically, we propose a practical conference key agreement (CKA) protocol that only uses WCPs and linear optics and prove its security with a multiparty decoy-state method. Our protocol allows an arbitrary number of parties to establish a secret conference key by single-photon interference, enabling it to overcome recent bounds on the rate at which conference keys can be established in quantum networks without a repeater.
