• Abstract: Device-Independent Quantum Key Distribution (DIQKD) aims to generate secret keys between two parties without relying on trust in their employed devices, imposing strict noise constraints for key generation. This study explores the resilience of high-dimensional quantum systems in DIQKD, focusing on a comparison between qubits and qutrits. Lower bounds on achievable key rates are investigated through numerical optimization, while upper bounds are evaluated using the Convex-Combination attack, which has been further extended to account for arbitrary dimensions. The observed difference between these bounds provides insights into noise thresholds and potential enhancements in DIQKD scenarios, prompting debate on the merit of increased dimensions given the associated experimental efforts required.

• Entropy bounds for device-independent quantum key distribution with local Bell test [0.0]
  One of the main challenges in device-independent quantum key distribution (DIQKD) is achieving the required Bell violation over long distances. Recent works have explored the concept of certifying nonlocal correlations over extended distances through the use of a local Bell test. Here, an additional quantum device is placed in close proximity to one party, using short-distance correlations to verify nonlocal behavior at long distances.

  We develop upper bounds for key rates for device-independent quantum key distribution (DI-QKD) protocols and devices. We show that the convex hull of the currently known bounds is a tighter upper bound on the device-independent key rates of standard CHSH-based protocol. We show that the device-independent private capacity for the CHSH based protocols on depolarizing and erasure channels is limited by the secret key capacity of dephasing channels.

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.
