Secure Key Distribution by Swapping Quantum Entanglement

Quantum Physics 2009-11-10 v3

Abstract

We report two key distribution schemes achieved by swapping quantum entanglement. Using two Bell states, two bits of secret key can be shared between two distant parties that play symmetric and equal roles. We also address eavesdropping attacks against the schemes.
