Quantum Key Distribution and Communication using a Two-way Quantum Channel
arXiv:1004.0157 · doi:10.1016/j.tcs.2014.09.017
Abstract
We review a communication protocol recently proposed by us that makes use of a two-way quantum channel. We provide a characterization of such a protocol from a practical perspective, and consider the most relevant eavesdropping strategies against it. This allows us to compare its potentialities with those of a standard protocol which uses a one-way quantum channel.
