Device-Independent Quantum Key Distribution Based on Routed Bell Tests by Tristan Le Roy-Deloison, Edwin Peter Lobo, Jef Pauwels, Stefano Pironio

“…We show how to analyze the security of these protocols and compute lower bounds on the key rates using noncommutative polynomial optimization and the Brown-Fawzi-Fawzi method. We determine lower bounds on the asymptotic key rates of several simple two-qubit routed DIQKD protocols based on CHSH or BB84 correlations and compare their performance to standard protocols. …”
