- Abstract summary: We develop a technique based on conjugate measurement and quantum state distinguishment to ana-lyze the security.
Our result shows that TF-QKD with reasonable number of discrete random phases, e.g. 8 phases from 0, pi/4, pi/2,..., 7pi/4, can achieve satisfactory performance.

- Abstract: Quantum key distribution(QKD) allows two remote parties to share
information-theoretic secret keys. Many QKD protocols assume the phase of
encoding state can be continuous randomized from 0 to 2 pi, which, however, may
be questionable in experiment. This is particularly the case in the recently
proposed twin-field(TF) QKD, which has received a lot of attention, since it
can increase key rate significantly and even beat some theoretical rate-loss
limits. As an intuitive solution, one may introduce discrete
phase-randomization instead of continuous one. However, a security proof for a
QKD protocol with discrete phase-randomization in finite-key region is still
missing. Here we develop a technique based on conjugate measurement and quantum
state distinguishment to ana-lyze the security in this case. Our result shows
that TF-QKD with reasonable number of discrete random phases, e.g. 8 phases
from {0, pi/4, pi/2, ..., 7pi/4}, can achieve satisfactory performance. More
importantly, as a the first proof for TF-QKD with discrete phase-randomization
in finite-key region, our method is also applicable in other QKD protocols.

We introduce a quantum hardness assumption called the Hamiltonian Phase State (HPS) problem.
We show that our assumption is plausibly fully quantum; meaning, it cannot be used to construct one-way functions.

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.

Decoy-state quantum key distribution (QKD) is undoubtedly the most efficient solution to handle multi-photon signals emitted by laser sources.
It provides the same secret key rate scaling as ideal single-photon sources.
It requires, however, that the phase of each emitted pulse is uniformly random.

We use a toy fiber optic based setup to generate binary series, and evaluate their level of randomness according to Ville principle.
Series are tested with a battery of standard statistical indicators, Hurst, Kolmogorov complexity, minimum entropy, Takensarity dimension of embedding, and Augmented Dickey Fuller and Kwiatkowski Phillips Schmidt Shin to check station exponent.
The level of randomness of series obtained by applying Toeplitz extractor to rejected series is found to be indistinguishable from the level of non-rejected raw ones.

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.
