• Abstract: Noiseless linear amplifiers (NLAs) provide a powerful tool to achieve long-distance continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CV-QKD) in the presence of realistic setups with non unit reconciliation efficiency. We address a NLA-assisted CV-QKD protocol implemented via realistic physical NLAs, namely, quantum scissors (QS) and single-photon catalysis (SPC), and compare their performance with respect to the ideal NLA $g^{\hat{n}}$. We investigate also the robustness of two schemes against inefficient conditional detection, and discuss the two alternative scenarios in which the gain associated with the NLA is either fixed or optimized.

• Saturating the Maximum Success Probability Bound for Noiseless Linear Amplification using Linear Optics [0.0]
  A noiseless linear amplifier (NLA) performs the highest quality amplification allowable under the rules of quantum physics. Unfortunately, these same rules conspire against us via the no-cloning theorem, which constrains NLA operations to the domain of probabilistic processes. Here we propose the first linear optics NLA protocol which achieves this success probability bound, by modifying the Knill-Laflamme-Milburn near-deterministic teleporter into an amplifier.
