Bounding Dimensions by Statistical Testing

Research output: Poster presentation without proceedings

Abstract

Quantum Key Distribution Protocols using continuous variables are mathematically described in infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. This makes security analyses, in particular recent numerical methocs difficult and necessitates techniques that allow to restrict considerations to an appropriate finite-dimensional subspace. We present a method that allows to bound the weight of infinite-dimensional quantum states outside a finite-dimensional cutoff space, based on statistical tests. This allows to rigorously prove security of DM CV-QKD protocols against collective attacks in the finite-size regime. This talk is based on recent work [1].
