| Research Abstract |
Theory on the security of quantum key distribution (QKD) protocols based on complementarity in quantum mechanics has been developed. This method is applicable to any QKD protocols in principle. Security proofs were provided for several QKD protocols with practical devices. Quantitative relations among various properties of quantum origin (quantum entanglement, private communication, and complementarity) were revealed through derivation of universal equations connecting the measures of quantum correlation defined operationally in terms of those properties.
