Open access self-archiving: An author study
No full textThis, our second author international, cross-disciplinary study on open access had 1296 respondents. Its focus was on self-archiving. Almost half (49%) of the respondent population have self-archived at least one article during the last three years. Use of institutional repositories for this purpose has doubled and usage has increased by almost 60% for subject-based repositories. Self-archiving activity is greatest amongst those who publish the largest number of papers. There is still a substantial proportion of authors unaware of the possibility of providing open access to their work by self-archiving. Of the authors who have not yet self-archived any articles, 71% remain unaware of the option. With 49% of the author population having self-archived in some way, this means that 36% of the total author population (71% of the remaining 51%), has not yet been appraised of this way of providing open access. Authors have frequently expressed reluctance to self-archive because of the perceived time required and possible technical difficulties in carrying out this activity, yet findings here show that only 20% of authors found some degree of difficulty with the first act of depositing an article in a repository, and that this dropped to 9% for subsequent deposits. Another author worry is about infringing agreed copyright agreements with publishers, yet only 10% of authors currently know of the SHERPA/RoMEO list of publisher permissions policies with respect to self-archiving, where clear guidance as to what a publisher permits is provided. Where it is not known if permission is required, however, authors are not seeking it and are self-archiving without it. Communicating their results to peers remains the primary reason for scholars publishing their work; in other words,
researchers publish to have an impact on their field. The vast majority of authors (81%) would willingly comply with a mandate from their employer or research funder to deposit copies of their articles in an institutional or subject-based repository. A further 13% would comply reluctantly; 5% would not comply with such a mandate

Key rates for quantum key distribution protocols with asymmetric noise
No full textWe consider the asymptotic key rates achieved in the simplest quantum key distribution protocols, namely, the BB84 and the six-state protocols when nonuniform noise is present in the system. We first observe that higher qubit error rates do not necessarily imply lower key rates. Second, we consider protocols with advantage distillation and show that it can be advantageous to use the basis with higher quantum bit error rate for the key generation. We then discuss the relation between advantage distillation and entanglement distillation protocols. We show that applying advantage distillation to a string of bits formed by the outcomes of measurements in the basis with a higher quantum bit error rate is closely connected to the two-to-one entanglement distillation protocol of Deutsch-Ekert-Jozsa-Macchiavello-Popescu-Sanpera [Phys. Rev. Lett. 77, 2818 (1996)PRLTAO0031-900710.1103/PhysRevLett.77.2818]. Finally, we discuss the implications of these results for implementations of quantum key distribution.QID/Wehner GroupQuantum Information and SoftwareQuantum Internet Divisio
BBOH 004 Watt Key 6-5-2019
No full textIn this recording, author Albert Watkins Key, aka Watt Key, is interviewed by Ruby Staten about his experiences spending time in the wetlands of the Mobile-Tensaw River Delta for his book, Among the Swamp People. Mr. Key begins the interview describing his experiences growing up in Point Clear, Alabama, and the storytelling in his family led to his passion for writing. Mr. Key discusses the differences between the bay and the delta in relation to fishing and hunting. He considers some of the local ecological knowledge that people in the delta hold, and the tensions that can exist between federal regulations and on-the-ground experience, and discusses aspects of the culture that exists among people who frequent the delta
Fully device-independent conference key agreement
No full textWe present a security analysis of conference key agreement (CKA) in the most adversarial model of device independence (DI). Our protocol can be implemented by any experimental setup that is capable of performing Bell tests [specifically, the Mermin-Ardehali-Belinskii-Klyshko (MABK) inequality], and security can in principle be obtained for any violation of the MABK inequality that detects genuine multipartite entanglement among the N parties involved in the protocol. As our main tool, we derive a direct physical connection between the N-partite MABK inequality and the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) inequality, showing that certain violations of the MABK inequality correspond to a violation of the CHSH inequality between one of the parties and the other N-1. We compare the asymptotic key rate for device-independent conference key agreement (DICKA) to the case where the parties use N-1 device-independent quantum key distribution protocols in order to generate a common key. We show that for some regime of noise the DICKA protocol leads to better rates.QID/Wehner GroupQuantum Internet DivisionQuantum Information and Softwar
