Free-space quantum key distribution
Quantum cryptography was introduced in the mid1980s [1] as a new method for generating the shared, secret random number sequences, or cryptographic keys, that are used in crypto-systems to provide communications security. The appeal of quantum cryptography is that its security is based on laws of Nature, in contrast to existing methods of key distribution that derive their security from the per...
متن کاملFree-Space Quantum Key Distribution
Quantum key distribution is the most advanced technology to arise from the emerging field of quantum information. In fact, a few companies (MaqiQ Technologies and id Quantique) already offer commercial quantum key distribution products. But why so much excitement over QKD when our standard techniques serve just fine? Well the thing is that our standard techniques are safe only under certain ass...
متن کاملProof-of-principle experiment of reference-frame-independent quantum key distribution with phase coding
We have demonstrated a proof-of-principle experiment of reference-frame-independent phase coding quantum key distribution (RFI-QKD) over an 80-km optical fiber. After considering the finite-key bound, we still achieve a distance of 50 km. In this scenario, the phases of the basis states are related by a slowly time-varying transformation. Furthermore, we developed and realized a new decoy state...
متن کاملLong distance free-space quantum key distribution
In the age of information and globalisation, secure communication as well as the protection of sensitive data against unauthorised access are of utmost importance. Quantum cryptography currently provides the only way to exchange a cryptographic key between two parties in an unconditionally secure fashion. Owing to losses and noise of today’s optical fibre and detector technology, at present qua...
متن کاملReference-frame-independent quantum-key-distribution server with a telecom tether for an on-chip client.
We demonstrate a client-server quantum key distribution (QKD) scheme. Large resources such as laser and detectors are situated at the server side, which is accessible via telecom fiber to a client requiring only an on-chip polarization rotator, which may be integrated into a handheld device. The detrimental effects of unstable fiber birefringence are overcome by employing the reference-frame-in...
