• Abstract: In this paper we investigate the security of continuous variable BB84 quantum key distribution protocol using single photon added then subtracted squeezed coherent state SPASSCS. It's found that the SPASSCS is a non-Gaussian and nonclassical state. Its non-Gaussianity and non-classicality are exhibited via the Wigner function. It's shown that the proposed state is generally robust against the eavesdropping strategies, such as intercept-resend attack and superior channel attack. Further, a comparative study has proved the strong efficiency of the proposed state over coherent state, squeezed coherent state and photon added then subtracted coherent state. Our analysis employs bit error rate, mutual information, and secure key gain.

  The squeezed nature of photon-added coherent (PAC) states potentially offers an advantage in quantum sensing applications. We study the properties of a single-photon and coherent state wavepacket superimposed with variable temporal and spectral overlap. We show that, even without perfect overlap, the state exhibits a sub-Poissonian number distribution, second-order quantum correlations and quadrature squeezing for a weak coherent state.
