Saturation Attack on Continuous-Variable Quantum Key Distribution System
Introduction Quantum key distribution (QKD) [1] enables two remote parties Alice and Bob to share common secure keys which are unknown to a potential eavesdropper. Unconditional security of QKD is based on the fundamental laws of quantum mechanics, but in reality, securities of practical QKD systems could be jeopardized by physical implementations. In discretevariable (DV) QKD system, due to de...
متن کاملSingle-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 کاملQuantum Key Distribution using Continuous-variable non-Gaussian States
In this work we present a quantum key distribution protocol using continuous-variable nonGaussian states, homodyne detection and post-selection. The employed signal states are the Photon Added then Subtracted Coherent States (PASCS) in which one photon is added and subsequently one photon is subtracted. We analyze the performance of our protocol, compared to a coherent state based protocol, for...
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 ...
