Title: Total insecurity of communication via strong converse for quantum privacy amplification
Authors: Robert Salzmann, Nilanjana Datta
Abstract summary: We show that the eavesdropper can infer any sent messages with certainty, when given very limited extra information. We prove that in the strong converse region, the eavesdropper has an exponential advantage inferring the sent message correctly, compared to the achievability region.

Abstract: Quantum privacy amplification is a central task in quantum cryptography. Given shared randomness, which is initially correlated with a quantum system held by an eavesdropper, the goal is to extract uniform randomness which is decoupled from the latter. The optimal rate for this task is known to satisfy the strong converse property and we provide a lower bound on the corresponding strong converse exponent. In the strong converse region, the distance of the final state of the protocol from the desired decoupled state converges exponentially fast to its maximal value, in the asymptotic limit. We show that this necessarily leads to totally insecure communication by establishing that the eavesdropper can infer any sent messages with certainty, when given very limited extra information. In fact, we prove that in the strong converse region, the eavesdropper has an exponential advantage in inferring the sent message correctly, compared to the achievability region. Additionally we establish the following technical result, which is central to our proofs, and is of independent interest: the smoothing parameter for the smoothed max-relative entropy satisfies the strong converse property.

The paper considers two communication models -- one-way classical communication and one-way quantum communication. We show that in the case of classical communication, quantum isotropic states have no advantage over noisy classical correlation. In the case of quantum communication, we demonstrate that the common randomness rate can be increased by using superdense coding on quantum isotropic states.
