Dr. Siddhartha Das published a paper on Fundamental limitations on the device-independent quantum conference key agreement in Physical Review A journal. The other authors of this paper are Karol Horodecki, University of Gdańsk and Marek Winczewski, University of Gdańsk.
Research work as explained by the authors:
We provide several general upper bounds on the rate of a key secure against a quantum adversary in the device-independent conference key agreement (DI-CKA) scenario. They include bounds by reduced entanglement measures and those based on multipartite secrecy monotones such as a multipartite squashed entanglement-based measure, which we refer to as reduced c-squashed entanglement. We compare the latter bound with the known lower bound for the protocol of conference key distillation based on the parity Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt game. We also show that the gap between the DI-CKA rate and the device-dependent rate is inherited from the bipartite gap between device-independent and device-dependent key rates, giving examples that exhibit the strict gap.

Physical Review A (PRA) publishes important developments in the rapidly evolving areas of atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) physics, quantum information, and related fundamental concepts.
Established in 1970, PRA is the journal of choice for the publication of research in AMO physics and quantum information. Bridging these traditional and emerging research areas, PRA’s authors and readers benefit from the widespread synergies between these fields. PRA coordinates with other members of the Physical Review family of journals to serve new subspecialties as they develop.
