Efficient Heralding of Loss-Tolerant Photonic GHZ States for Device-Independent Conference Key Agreement over Long Distances
Heralded multipartite entanglement distribution is a key requirement for device-independent conference key agreement (DI-CKA) over lossy quantum networks. Although locally equivalent in the absence of loss, different single-rail photon-number encodings of Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states can exhibit substantial...
