Enhanced Lightweight Quantum Key Distribution Protocol for Improved Efficiency and Security by Ashutosh Bhatia, Sainath Bitragunta, Kamlesh Tiwari

“…While the focus of this work is on the BB84 protocol, these optimizations are also directly applicable to a broader class of Discrete-Variable QKD (DV-QKD) protocols, such as six-state, B92, and E91, which share a fundamentally similar post-processing structure. This generality highlights the modularity and adaptability of the proposed methods across diverse QKD implementations. …”

Preparation and Corrosion Resistance of Iron Oxyhydroxide Coatings on Weathering Steel Surfaces by YUE Zengwu, LI Xiaoyu, ZHANG Zhenyue, YANG Dongxu, YUE Heng

“…To improve the corrosion resistance of weathering steel in the atmosphere，two types of iron oxyhydroxide coatings，α-FeOOH and γ-FeOOH，were respectively prepared on weathering steel using a combined method of hydrolysis and ultrasonic deposition.Microscopic morphology analysis (SEM) and X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) were performed on the coatings.Outdoor atmospheric exposure tests were conducted using three types of specimens: shot-peened only，shot-peened with a prefabricated α-FeOOH coating，and shot-peened with a prefabricated γ-FeOOH coating.The maximum test duration was 4.55 a.Corrosion kinetics test，cross-sectional morphology analysis，X-ray diffraction analysis，open-circuit potential (OCP) test and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) test were carried out on the retrieved specimens.Results showed that the prefabricated coatings consisted solely of either α-FeOOH or γ-FeOOH.After the outdoor exposure test，corrosion kinetics measurements indicated that the specimen with the prefabricated α-FeOOH coating exhibited the least thickness reduction.Crosssectional morphological analysis revealed that the specimens with prefabricated coatings developed more compact corrosion layers.XRD analysis demonstrated that the corrosion layer on the specimen with the prefabricated α-FeOOH coating contained the highest proportion of α-FeOOH.Electrochemical tests confirmed that the specimen with the prefabricated α-FeOOH coating exhibited the highest OCP and the greatest rust-layer resistance.In summary，the prepared α-FeOOH coating can promote the formation of corrosion products with the same crystal structure，and improve the corrosion resistance of weathering steel.…”
