5. We will use the following notations and assumptions.

1. Basis 0, bit 0, means that Alice sends quantum state |0i.

2. Basis 0, bit 1, means that Alice sends quantum state |1i.

3. Basis 1, bit 0, means that Alice sends quantum state |+i = √1 (|0i + |1i).

4. Basis 1, bit 1, means that Alice sends quantum state |−i = √1 (|0i − |1i).

5. Making measurement in basis B0 means to use P0 = |0ih0| and P1 = |1ih1|.

6. Making measurement in basis B1 means to use P0 = |+ih+| and P1 = |−ih−|.

Let Alice choose the following bases and bits for sending qubits to Bob:

time instance: t1 t2 t3 t4 t5 t6 t7 t8 t9 t10


basis: B0 B1 B1 B0 B1 B0 B1 B0 B0 B1
bit: 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0

Let now Bob use the following bases for conducting measurements

time instance: t1 t2 t3 t4 t5 t6 t7 t8 t9 t10


basis: B0 B0 B0 B0 B1 B1 B1 B0 B0 B1

Further Alice and Bob follow the protocol BB84 (which we discussed in the class).
Find the secret key obtained by Alice and Bob.

6. For the same settings (bases and bits used by Alice and bases used by Bob) let us assume
that Eve intercepts the first 5 qubits sent by Alice. Eve measures these qubits using bases

time instances: t1 t2 t3 t4 t5
basis: B1 B1 B1 B1 B1

and sends the qubits (after measurements) further to Bob.


Find possible classical outputs and the corresponding probabilities of the first 5 measure-
ments conducted by Bob.
