Quantum leap for research into unhackable communications networks

Phys.org  November 30, 2022 Quantum steering relaxes the strict technological constraints of Bell nonlocality by reframing it in an asymmetric manner, with a trusted party only on one side. However, tests of quantum steering still require either extremely high-quality entanglement or very low loss. An international team of researchers (UK, Switzerland) constructed a test of quantum steering for qudits harnessing the advantages of high-dimensional entanglement to be simultaneously noise robust and loss tolerant. It was designed for single-detector measurements and was able to close the fair-sampling loophole in a time-efficient manner. They demonstrated quantum steering in up to 53 dimensions, […]
