In this study, measurement-device-independent CVQSS (MDI-CVQSS) is proposed in which measurement is no longer the duty for the dealer but is performed by an untrusted party Charlie, so that all detector side-channel attacks can be eliminated, greatly enhancing the practical security of CVQSS system. The security bound is derived for the proposed MDI-CVQSS, and its numerical simulation shows that MDI-CVQSS outperforms conventional CVQSS in terms of both secret key rate and maximal number of users. It is found that MDI-CVQSS possesses several unique properties, such as local stability of the secret key rate, low total excess noise and high utilization rate of raw data, which indicate that MDI-CVQSS has the potential for efficiently building a large-scale quantum communication network. Moreover, it is also suggested three variations of MDI-CVQSS to satisfy the requirements of different multi-point quantum communication scenarios.</p>","PeriodicalId":72073,"journal":{"name":"Advanced quantum technologies","volume":"8 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144832771","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is essential to understand the performance requirements for such systems, especially concerning tolerable levels of noise, since these specifications dramatically affect a system's design complexity and cost. Here, using an approach that can be easily generalized across quantum-hardware platforms, a case study based on nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond is presented. The effects of phase noise and timing jitter in the control system in conjunction are modeled and experimentally verified with the spin qubit's environmental noise. The impact of different phase noise characteristics on the fidelity of dynamical decoupling sequences is also considered. The results demonstrate a procedure to specify design requirements for integrated quantum control signal generators for solid-state spin qubits, depending on their coherence time, intrinsic noise spectrum, and required fidelity.</p>","PeriodicalId":72073,"journal":{"name":"Advanced quantum technologies","volume":"8 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144635557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
