- Abstract summary: Mode-pairing (MP) quantum key distribution (QKD) eliminates the requirements of phase locking and phase tracking.
Security of MP-QKD is proved rigorously by examining the consistency of the states detailly between MP-QKD and the fixed-pairing scheme.
We explain why the pairing rounds in MP-QKD can be decoupled and determined by the measurement results announced by a third party.

- Abstract: Mode-pairing (MP) quantum key distribution (QKD) eliminates the requirements
of phase locking and phase tracking compared with twin-field (TF) QKD while
still surpassing the fundamental rate-distance limit of QKD. The complexity of
the experimental implementation is reduced while the efficiency is also
guaranteed. The security of MP-QKD is proved rigorously by examining the
consistency of the states detailly between MP-QKD and the fixed-pairing scheme
under all of Eve's possible interference, where the latter is equivalent to
measurement-device-independent (MDI) QKD. Here we propose a simple and
straightforward method to prove the information-theoretic security of MP-QKD.
Specifically, an entanglement scheme for MP-QKD is proposed and its security is
proved using entanglement purification. Then the security of MP-QKD can be
guaranteed with the equivalence of the entanglement scheme and
prepare-and-measure scheme for MP-QKD. With this approach, it is beneficial to
analyze and understand the performance and security of MP-QKD. We explain why
the pairing rounds in MP-QKD can be decoupled and determined by the measurement
results announced by a third party, which is the key difference between MP-QKD
and MDI-QKD. Moreover, we analyze the security of MP-QKD with the allowed
optimal pairing strategy, which is significant for the secret key rate, under
collective and coherent attacks.

Device-Independent (DI) QKD protocols overcome this issue by making minimal device assumptions.
We show that a one-sided DI QKD scheme with two measurements per party is secure against coherent attacks up to detection efficiencies greater than 50.1% specifically on the untrusted side.
We also show that, by placing the source of states close to the untrusted side, our protocol is secure over distances comparable to standard QKD protocols.

Coherent-one-way (COW) quantum key distribution (QKD) is a significant communication protocol that has been implemented experimentally and deployed in practical products.
Existing security analyses of COW-QKD either provide a short transmission distance or lack immunity against coherent attacks in the finite-key regime.
We present a tight finite-key framework for a variant of COW-QKD, which has been proven to extend the secure transmission distance in the case.
