Optimal Eavesdropping in Quantum Cryptography. II. Quantum Circuit

Quantum Physics 2009-10-30 v1

Abstract

It is shown that the optimum strategy of the eavesdropper, as described in the preceding paper, can be expressed in terms of a quantum circuit in a way which makes it obvious why certain parameters take on particular values, and why obtaining information in one basis gives rise to noise in the conjugate basis.
