Transmitter-device-dependence is a longstanding but often implicit problem in quantum key distribution (QKD), as compared to measurement-device-dependence. One-sided device-independent (1sDI) scenario relaxes the security conditions of DI…

We report on an optical setup generating more than one bit of randomness from one entangled bit (i.e. a maximally entangled state of two-qubits). The amount of randomness is certified through the observation of Bell non-local correlations.…

Quantum key distribution promises unconditionally secure communications. However, as practical devices tend to deviate from their specifications, the security of some practical systems is no longer valid. In particular, an adversary can…

Data-driven inference was recently introduced as a protocol that, upon the input of a set of data, outputs a mathematical description for a physical device able to explain the data. The device so inferred is automatically self-consistent,…
