• Abstract: In this work, we study the security of coherent-state quantum key distribution with a strong reference pulse. The consideration is based on a powerful soft filtering attack and uses realistic parameters of the equipment. Our model allows us to relate the secure key generation rate and distance with the energy of signal and reference pulses. We propose a two-pass quantum key distribution phase encoding optical scheme with a strong reference pulse. This simple for realization scheme is experimentally tested showing stable operation. Here we describe the tuning technique and solution for the problem of weak signal pulse shadowing by a bright reference pulse with the relative intensity difference of more than 60\,dB between them.

  Multi-generator Wave Energy Converters (WEC) must handle multiple simultaneous waves coming from different directions called spread waves. These complex devices need controllers with multiple objectives of energy capture efficiency, reduction of structural stress to limit maintenance, and proactive protection against high waves. In this paper, we explore different function approximations for the policy and critic networks in modeling the sequential nature of the system dynamics.

• Simplified intensity- and phase-modulated transmitter for modulator-free decoy-state quantum key distribution [0.0]
  Quantum key distribution (QKD) allows secret key exchange between two users with unconditional security. Currently, the majority of QKD systems demonstrated rely on bulk intensity and phase modulators to generate optical pulses. We present and experimentally demonstrate a novel optical transmitter design to overcome this disadvantage by generating intensity- and phase-tunable pulses at GHz clock speeds.

In addition, we demonstrate the feasibility of our protocol through a proof-of-principle experimental implementation and achieve a secure key rate of 253 bps with a 20 dB channel loss.

  Continuous-variable quantum key distribution (QKD) employs the quadratures of a bosonic mode to establish a secret key between two remote parties. We consider a protocol with homodyne detection in the general setting of composable finite-size security. In particular, we analyze the high signal-to-noise regime which requires the use of high-rate (non-binary) low-density parity check codes.

  Quantum key distribution (QKD) allows the establishment of common cryptographic keys among distant parties. Recently, a QKD protocol that circumvents the need for monitoring signal disturbance, has been proposed and demonstrated in initial experiments. We derive the security proofs of the round-robin differential phase-time-shifting protocol in the collective attack scenario. Our results show that the RRDPTS protocol can achieve higher secret key rate in comparison with the RRDPS, in the condition of high quantum bit error rate.
