Abstract

This work proposes two fault tolerant quantum key distribution (QKD) protocols. Each of which is robust under one kind of collective noises: collective-dephasing noise and collective-rotation noise, respectively. Due to the use of the entanglement swapping of Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) state as well as the decoy logical qubits, the new protocols provide the best qubit efficiency among the existing fault tolerant QKD protocols over the same collective-noise channel. The receiver simply performs two Bell measurements to obtain the raw key. Moreover, the proposed protocols are free from several well-known attacks and can also be secure over a lossy channel.
