    "abstract": "This note presents a method of public key distribution using quantum\ncommunication of n photons that simultaneously provides a high probability that\nthe bits have not been tampered. It is a three-state variant of the quantum\nmethod of Bennett and Brassard (BB84) where the transmission states have been\ndecreased from 4 to 3 and the detector states have been increased from 2 to 3.\nUnder certain assumptions regarding method of attack, it provides superior\nperformance (in terms of the number of usable key bits) for n \u003c 18 m, where m\nis the number of key bits used to verify the integrity of the process in the\nBB84-protocol.",
