How does the Chernoff inequality help in improving the intuition about the error rate in quantum key distribution protocols?
Sunday, 27 August 2023 by EITCA Academy
The Chernoff inequality is a powerful tool in probability theory that can be used to analyze the error rate in quantum key distribution (QKD) protocols. In the field of quantum cryptography, QKD protocols are designed to establish secure keys between two parties, Alice and Bob, by exploiting the principles of quantum mechanics. However, due to
