Application of the Flag-State Squashing Model to Numerical Quantum Key Distribution Security Analysis
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-18)The squashing model proof technique is a powerful tool in proving security of quantum key distribution (QKD) protocols since it reduces the dimension of the associated computational problem from infinite to finite. In the ... -
Experimental Investigation into Spatial Quantum Optical Properties for Satellite Targeting through the Turbulent Atmosphere
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-04)A major field of research at the current time is that of implementing Quantum Key Distribution over large distances using satellites. If this protocol works with this technology, it will have huge implications on future ... -
Free Space Quantum Key Distribution to Moving Platforms
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-24)The quantum space age has officially begun and many important milestones and achievements have recently been demonstrated, such as the exciting launch and results of the first quantum demonstration satellite, Micius. ... -
On Experimental Quantum Communication and Cryptography
(University of Waterloo, 2012-03-29)One of the most fascinating recent developments in research has been how different disciplines have become more and more interconnected. So much so that fields as disparate as information theory and fundamental physics ... -
The Security of Simplified Trusted Relays
(University of Waterloo, 2014-08-27)This thesis examines the security of performing quantum key distribution (QKD) with a simplified trusted relay (STR). The protocol carries out the quantum phase of a conventional trusted relay, however, reduces the required ... -
Towards Real-World Adoption of Quantum Key Distribution using Entangled Photons
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-21)In order for quantum key distribution (QKD) to move from the lab to widespread adoption, it will need to be compatible with existing infrastructure. To that end, I demonstrate an implementation of QKD with entangled ...
