Noiseless Linear Amplifiers in Entanglement-Based Continuous-Variable Quantum Key Distribution

We propose a method to improve the performance of two entanglement-based continuous-variable quantum key distribution protocols using noiseless linear amplifiers. The two entanglement-based schemes consist of an entanglement distribution protocol with an untrusted source and an entanglement swapping...
