Abstract
It has recently been shown that shared cryptographic quantum bits are achievable through the use of an optical coupler, instead of polarised photons. We show that such shared cryptographic bits can also be produced by using a different optical apparatus — a beam-splitter. An important advantage of such a system is that it could be experimentally more feasible than an optical coupler.
