Abstract

We discuss the extension of the smooth entropy formalism to arbitrary physical systems with no bound on the number of degrees of freedom, comparing them with already existing notions of entropy for infinite-dimensional systems. Our analysis is both conceptual as well as based on operational primitives, for example we ask for the ability to perform privacy amplification against any kind of quantum side information.  As an application, we show how to employ a version of the entropic uncertainty relation to provide a security analysis for continuous variable quantum key distribution protocols.   based on arXiv:1107.5460, 1112.2179. This is joint work with Mario Berta, Fabian Furrer as well as with Torsten Franz, Marco Tomamichel, Reinhard Werner
