Security of quantum key distribution with detection-efficiency mismatch in the single-photon case: Tight bounds
One of the challenges in practical quantum key distribution is dealing with efficiency mismatch between different threshold single-photon detectors. There are known bounds for the secret key rate for the BB84 protocol with detection-efficiency mismatch provided that the eavesdropper sends no more than one photon to the legitimate receiver. Here …
