We present a feasible and scalable approach to testing Bell nonlocality and implementing device-independent quantum key distribution (DI-QKD) between distant atomic states in cavity-based architectures, mediated by hybrid atom-light…

Device-independent quantum cryptography allows security even if the devices used to execute the protocol are untrusted - whether this is due to unknown imperfections in the implementation, or because the adversary himself constructed them…
