Theoretical physicist Filippo Miatto and colleagues from the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, UK, have found a new method of reliably assessing the information contained in photon pairs used for applications in cryptography and quantum computing. The findings, published in European Physical Journal D, are so robust that they enable access to the information even when the measurements on photon pairs are imperfect.
