Hello, we are team #hackerita (a mix of *hack*thon and margh*erita* pizza), from Padua node.
This repo contains our code developed for QIH 2022.
In this setup, Alice and Bob receive an entangled state
Sifting is performed after a predefined number of shared qubits. Alice and Bob share each other the measure basis used, and they will discard the bits associated to not matching basis.
Even though this setup is utterly simple, it has been useful to take confidence in the use of netsquid.
Taking inspiration from the step 1 code, we implemented the BBM92 protocol. We associate an entangled source to Alice, which will send the (second) entangled qubit to Bob through a quantum channel.
However, we can change the network layout, so to include an eavesdropper in the quantum channel:
Either way, Alice and Bob perform measure in randomly choosen basis, storing the measure basis and the outcome. Eve works likewise, with an additional step to send an hijacked qubit to Bob, depending on the outcome of Eve's measure. Finally, sifting is performed sharing on the classical channel the chosen basis.
