Quantum Cryptography Using Single Particle Entanglement

Quantum Physics 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

A quantum cryptography scheme based on entanglement between a single particle state and a vacuum state is proposed. The scheme utilizes linear optics devices to detect the superposition of the vacuum and single particle states. Existence of an eavesdropper can be detected by using a variant of Bell's inequality.
