Title:
Quantum Alice and Silent Bob: Qubit-based Quantum Key Recycling with almost no classical communication

Authors: Daan Leermakers, Boris Skoric

Abstract:

We introduce a Quantum Key Recycling (QKR) protocol that needs no classical communication from Alice to Bob. Alice sends only a cipherstate, which consists of qubits that are individually measured by Bob. Bob merely has to respond with an authenticated one-bit accept/reject classical message. Compared to Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), QKR has reduced round complexity. Compared to other qubit-wise QKR protocols, our scheme has far less classical communication. We provide a security proof in the universal composability framework and find that the communication rate is asymptotically the same as for QKD with one-way postprocessing.
