• Abstract: Quantum key distribution(QKD) might be the most famous application of quantum information theory. The idea of QKD is not difficult to understand but in practical implementations, many problems are needed to be solved, for example, the noise of the channels. Previous works usually discuss the estimate of the channels and employ error-correcting procedures, whose feasibility and efficiency depend on the strength of the noise, or assist with entanglement distillation procedures, which often result in a large consumption of states while not all states can be distilled. This paper aims to study QKD over noisy channels including Pauli noises, amplitude damping noises, phase damping noises, collective noises as well as mixtures of them, in any strength without distillations. We provide a method, called the testing state method, to implement QKD protocols without errors over arbitrarily strength noisy channels. The method can be viewed as an error-correcting procedure, and can also be employed for other tasks.

  We give a new paradigm of quantum error mitigation based on the vectorization of density matrices. Our proposal directly changes the way of encoding information and maps the density matrices of noisy quantum states to noiseless pure states. Our protocol requires no knowledge of the noise model, no ability to tune the noise strength, and no ancilla qubits for complicated controlled unitaries.

Our results demonstrate that, despite being slightly more complex, QEC schemes based on erasure qubits can significantly outperform standard approaches.

  We test the ability of readout error mitigation to correct realistic noise found in systems composed of quantum two-level objects (qubits) By treating readout error mitigation in the context of state tomography the method becomes largely readout mode-, architecture-, noise source-, and quantum state-independent. We identify noise sources for which readout error mitigation worked well, and observed decreases in readout by a factor of up to 30.

  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.
