- Abstract: Photon loss represents a major challenge for the implementation of quantum communication protocols with untrusted devices, e.g. in the device-independent (DI) or semi-DI approaches. Determining critical loss thresholds is usually done in case-by-case studies. In the present work, we develop a general framework for characterizing the admissible levels of loss and noise in a wide range of scenarios and protocols with untrusted measurement devices. In particular, we present general bounds that apply to prepare-and-measure protocols for the semi-DI approach, as well as to Bell tests for DI protocols. A key step in our work is to establish a general connection between quantum protocols with untrusted measurement devices and the fundamental notions of channel extendibility and joint-measurability, which capture essential aspects of the communication and measurement of quantum information. In particular, this leads us to introduce the notion of partial joint-measurability, which naturally arises within quantum cryptography.

A proof of quantumness is an efficiently verifiable interactive test that an efficient quantum computer can pass.
Existing single-round protocols require large quantum circuits, whereas multi-round ones use smaller circuits but require experimentally challenging mid-circuit measurements.
We construct efficient single-round proofs of quantumness based on existing knowledge assumptions.

quantum key distribution [1.0499611180329804]
A trusted device scenario assumes that an adversary has no access to imperfections such as electronic noises in the detector is expected to provide significant improvement in the key rate.
Here, we develop a simple and general treatment that can incorporate the effects of Gaussian trusted noises for any protocol that uses homodyne/heterodyne measurements.
In our method, a rescaling of the outcome of a noisy homodyne/heterodyne detector renders it equivalent to the outcome of a noiseless detector with a tiny additional loss.

Quantum secure direct communication (QSDC) uses the quantum channel to transmit information reliably and securely.

In quantum information processing quantum operations are often processed alongside measurements which result in classical data.
Non-unitary dynamical processes can take place on the system, for which common quantum channel descriptions fail to describe the time evolution.
Quantum measurements are correctly treated by means of so-called quantum instruments capturing both classical outputs and post-measurement quantum states.
