In this paper, the authors compare the security bounds for different quantum communication protocols with the numerically evaluated losses in the transmission channel, due to the interaction between the atmosphere and the photon, which is the information carrier. The analysis is carried out using a free-source library, which can solve the radiative transfer equation for a parallel-plane atmosphere.
In this paper we present some recent work performed at Carlo Novero lab on Quantum Information and Foundations of Quantum Mechanics.
