Abstract

Network protocols are formulated for the phase-coding and correlated-photon-pairs quantum cryptosystems. These protocols are free of the restriction imposed on the distance between the two legitimate users by the transmission loss in the optical fiber. A single-photon source and a source of correlated photon pairs based on quantum dots are proposed.
