Abstract

Quantum Communication Protocols, such as Quantum Key Distribution, are typically described in the language of abstract qubits. For implementations, on the other hand, we use light pulses where the signals are described as elements of the infinite dimensional Hilbert space of optical modes. In this contribution I discuss how those two pictures fit together, especially in a cryptographic scenario.
