• Abstract: Conference key agreement (CKA) aims to establish shared, private randomness among many separated parties in a network. Device-independent (DI) CKA is a variant in which no assumptions are placed on the nature of the source, or the measurements performed by each party. So far, DICKA protocols largely fall into two categories: those that rely on violating a joint Bell inequality using genuinely multi-partite entangled states, and those that concatenate many bipartite protocols. The question of whether a hybrid protocol exists, where a multi-partite Bell inequality can be violated using only bipartite entanglement, was asked by Grasselli et al. in [Quantum 7, 980, (2023)]. We answer this question affirmatively, by constructing an asymptotically secure DICKA protocol achieving the same rate as the concatenation of bipartite DIQKD, yet relying on a single joint Bell violation. Our results prompt further discussion on the benefits of multi-partite entanglement for DICKA over its bipartite alternative, and we give an overview of different arguments for near-term devices.

We demonstrate that in this adjusted framework, the transformation rates between multipartite states are fundamentally dictated by the bipartite entanglement entropies of the respective quantum states.

• Boosting device-independent cryptography with tripartite nonlocality [0.0]
  Device-independent (DI) protocols certify private randomness by observing nonlocal correlations when two or more parties test a Bell inequality. Here, we consider tripartite DICKA and DIRE protocols based on testing multipartite Bell inequalities. We show that DICKA and DIRE protocols employing tripartite Bell inequalities can significantly outperform their bipartite counterparts.

  Quantum conference key agreement (QCKA) allows multiple users to establish a secure key from a shared multi-partite entangled state. In a quantum network, this protocol can be efficiently implemented using a single copy of a N-qubit Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state to distil a secure N-user conference key bit.

• Constructing Multipartite Bell inequalities from stabilizers [21.98685929768227]
  We propose a systematical framework to construct Bell inequalities from stabilizers maximally violated by general stabilizer states. We show that the constructed Bell inequalities can self-test any stabilizer state which is essentially device-independent. Our framework can not only inspire more fruitful multipartite Bell inequalities from conventional verification methods, but also pave the way for their practical applications.
