• Authors: Keegan Yao, Walter O. Krawec, Jiadong Zhu
• Abstract summary: We revisit so-called sampling-based entropic uncertainty relations, deriving newer, more powerful, relations and applying them to source-independent quantum random number generators and high-dimensional quantum key distribution protocols. These sampling-based approaches to entropic uncertainty, and their application to quantum cryptography, hold great potential for deriving proofs of security for quantum cryptographic systems.

• Abstract: It has been shown recently that the framework of quantum sampling, as introduced by Bouman and Fehr, can lead to new entropic uncertainty relations highly applicable to finite-key cryptographic analyses. Here we revisit these so-called sampling-based entropic uncertainty relations, deriving newer, more powerful, relations and applying them to source-independent quantum random number generators and high-dimensional quantum key distribution protocols. Along the way, we prove several interesting results in the asymptotic case for our entropic uncertainty relations. These sampling-based approaches to entropic uncertainty, and their application to quantum cryptography, hold great potential for deriving proofs of security for quantum cryptographic systems, and the approaches we use here may be applicable to an even wider range of scenarios.

  Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) leverage inherent, non-clonable physical randomness to generate unique input-output pairs. Quantum PUFs (QPUFs) extend this concept by using quantum states as input-output pairs. We show that no random unitary QPUF can achieve existential unforgeability against Quantum Polynomial Time adversaries. We introduce a second model where the QPUF functions as a nonunitary quantum channel, which also guarantees existential unforgeability.

We demonstrate a general method to guarantee that certain correlations cannot be generated in a given quantum network.
