In this paper we consider a scheme for cryptographic key distribution based on a variation of continuous variable quantum key distribution called central broadcast. In the continuous variable central broadcast scheme, security arises from…

We propose to perform quantum key distribution using quantum correlations occurring within thermal states produced by low power sources such as LED's. These correlations are exploited through the Hanbury Brown and Twiss effect. We build an…

Secret key exchange relies on the creation of correlated signals, serving as the raw resource for secure communication. Thermal states, exhibit Hanbury Brown and Twiss correlations, which offer a promising avenue for generating such…

We analyse a central broadcast continuous variable quantum key distribution protocol in which a beam produced by a thermal source is used to create a secret key between two parties, Alice and Bob. A beam splitter divides the initial beam…

We propose a scheme for the secure direct communication based on the entangled phase-coherent states, which shows an elevated level of confidentiality. The protocol gives a simultaneous security control for every bit of transferred…

A beam emitted by a displaced thermal source, incident on a beam splitter, is used as the source in a central broadcast quantum key distribution protocol. These displaced thermal states have parallels to signals produced through phase-shift…
