Security Proof for Quantum Key Distribution Using Qudit Systems

Abstract

We provide security bounds against coherent attacks for two families of quantum key distribution protocols that use dd-dimensional quantum systems. In the asymptotic regime, both the secret key rate for fixed noise and the robustness to noise increase with dd. The finite-key corrections are found to be almost insensitive to d20d\lesssim 20.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figure, version 3 corrects equations (9) and (11), and slightly modifies the figure to reflect the change to equation (11
