By testing nonlocality, the security of entanglement-based quantum key distribution (QKD) can be enhanced to being 'device-independent'. Here we ask whether such a strong form of security could also be established for one-way (prepare and…

The certification of entanglement dimensionality is of great importance in characterizing quantum systems. Recently, it is pointed out that quantum correlation of high-dimensional states can be simulated with a sequence of lower-dimensional…

This text is an introduction to an operational outlook on Bell inequalities, which has been very fruitful in the past few years. It has lead to the recognition that Bell tests have their own place in applied quantum technologies, because…
The BB84 quantum key distribution protocol is semi device independent in the sense that it can be shown to be secure if just one of the users' devices is restricted to a qubit Hilbert space. Here, we derive an analytic lower bound on the…
In contrast with classical physics, in quantum physics some sets of measurements are incompatible in the sense that they can not be performed simultaneously. Among other applications, incompatibility allows for contextuality and Bell…
Device-independent quantum key distribution allows for proving the security of a shared cryptographic key between two distant parties with potentially untrusted devices. The security proof is based on the measurement outcome statistics…
Quantum Bell nonlocality allows for the design of protocols that amplify the randomness of public and arbitrarily biased Santha-Vazirani sources, a classically impossible task. Information-theoretical security in these protocols is…
