Abstract
In counterfactual quantum key distribution (CQKD) information is transferred, in a secure way, between Alice and Bob even when no particle carrying the information is in fact transmitted between them. In this letter we fully implement the scheme for CQKD proposed in [1], demonstrating for the first time that information can be transmitted between two parties without the transmission of a carrier.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
