Quantum cryptography with squeezed light and post-selection
Quantum cryptography with squeezed light and post-selection
The role of squeezing and post-selection in continuous variable quantum key distribution is investigated. The scheme is based on the transmission of weak, amplitude-squeezed pulses of light in four discrete quantum states. It is shown that squeezing creates strong correlations between the signals of the legitimate receiver and a potential eavesdropper. Post-selection of the received pulses can therefore be used to reduce the eavesdropper's knowledge of the raw key. This increases the secret bit rate by orders of magnitude over large distances even for modest amounts of squeezing. (This is similar to paper number eP13935 which is available below.)

Abstract
The role of squeezing and post-selection in continuous variable quantum key distribution is investigated. The scheme is based on the transmission of weak, amplitude-squeezed pulses of light in four discrete quantum states. It is shown that squeezing creates strong correlations between the signals of the legitimate receiver and a potential eavesdropper. Post-selection of the received pulses can therefore be used to reduce the eavesdropper's knowledge of the raw key. This increases the secret bit rate by orders of magnitude over large distances even for modest amounts of squeezing. (This is similar to paper number eP13935 which is available below.)
