Fig. 4: Asymptotic key rate vs. detection efficiency (η) in the 2322-scenario.

From: Computing conditional entropies for quantum correlations

Fig. 4

We compare lower bounds on the asymptotic key rate for devices that have some fixed detection efficiency η [0.84, 1]. The curves based on the entropies \({H}_{(8/7)}^{\uparrow }(A| E)\), \({H}_{(4/3)}^{\uparrow }(A| E)\), \({H}_{(2)}^{\uparrow }(A| E)\), and \({H}_{\min }(A| E)\) were computed numerically using the NPA hierarchy, the red curve representing \(\inf H(A| E)-H(A| B)\) was computed using the analytical expression from ref. 10. The curves computed in the NPA hierarchy constrained the devices to satisfy some conditional probability distribution. We optimized the choice of distribution for each detection efficiency and entropy separately using a parametrization of two-qubit systems together with the method of ref. 52.
