Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) The semi-quantum key distribution protocol(SQKD) is known as a secret key sharing method with information-theoretic security against an eavesdropper. The SQKD protocol is characterized in that the receiver is limited to performing "classical" or "semi-quantum" operations. A lower bound of key rate of the SQKD protocol is shown by Krawec, however its bound may not be tight. So we improve the key rate by minimization of von Neumann entropy, addition of convex optimization constraints and adding new information to be used in the information reconciliation. As a result of these three improvements, we show that the SQKD protocol can generate secure key at 11.9% depolarizing rate.
