Abstract

Following a review of the probe optimization of Slutsky, Sun, Rao, and Fainman [Phys. Rev. A 57, 2383 (1998)] for the standard four-state protocol of quantum key distribution, I generalize the optimization to variable angle between the signal bases. I calculate the corresponding maximum Renyi information gain by the probe, and determine the optimum probe parameters. A larger set of optimum probe parameters is found for the standard protocol than was known previously.
