| Research Abstract |
In this research, we prepared two themes as a geotropism which attains the research subject. One is "The security of quantum key distribution using the real system" and the other is "the foundation of quantum information theory".
If it says about the real system, the situation of a quantum information theory will have accomplished the remarkable variation during the research.
In particular, quantum key distribution system arrived at the region of utilization. And related software is remarked on the system.
Therefore we propose two important research results. One is secure QKD protocol under "using week coherent quantum information and quantum erasure-channel". And another is error-correcting system that achieves privacy amplification simultaneously.
On the later-subject, we put other quantum protocols into the research field, and we have guessed how we should consider the theoretical hypothesis to be important at present. In particular, we evaluated and proposed quantum bit commitment protocol, QKD protocol with multi-photon protocols. Though the researches, we conclude that it is important for construction of secure quantum protocols to arrange the assumption of availability of entanglement states, of realization of quantum states, of existence of quantum memory, of quantum channel models.
