Single-quadrature continuous-variable quantum key distribution
Most continuous-variable quantum key distribution schemes are based on the Gaussian modulation of coherent states followed by continuous quadrature detection using homodyne detectors. In all previous schemes, the Gaussian modulation has been carried out in conjugate quadratures thus requiring two independent modulators for their implementations. Here, we propose and experimentally test a largel...
متن کاملContinuous Variable Quantum Key Distribution with a Noisy Laser
Existing experimental implementations of continuous-variable quantum key distribution require shot-noise limited operation, achieved with shot-noise limited lasers. However, loosening this requirement on the laser source would allow for cheaper, potentially integrated systems. Here, we implement a theoretically proposed prepare-and-measure continuous-variable protocol and experimentally demonst...
متن کاملSecurity Thresholds of Multicarrier Continuous-Variable Quantum Key Distribution
We prove the secret key rate formulas and derive security threshold parameters of multi-carrier continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CVQKD). In a multicarrierCVQKD scenario, the Gaussian input quantum states of the legal parties are granulatedinto Gaussian subcarrier CVs (continuous-variables). The multicarrier communicationformulates Gaussian sub-channels from the ...
متن کاملSubcarrier Domain of Multicarrier Continuous-Variable Quantum Key Distribution
We propose the subcarrier domain of multicarrier continuous-variable (CV) quantum key distribution (QKD). In a multicarrier CVQKD scheme, the information is granulated into Gaussian subcarrier CVs and the physical Gaussian link is divided into Gaussian subchannels. The sub-channels are dedicated for the conveying of the subcarrier CVs. The angular domain utilizes the phase-space angles of the G...
متن کاملSecurity of continuous-variable quantum key distribution against general attacks.
We prove the security of Gaussian continuous-variable quantum key distribution with coherent states against arbitrary attacks in the finite-size regime. In contrast to previously known proofs of principle (based on the de Finetti theorem), our result is applicable in the practically relevant finite-size regime. This is achieved using a novel proof approach, which exploits phase-space symmetries...
