Iterative Secret Key Rate Adapting with Error Minimization for Continuous-Variable Quantum Key Distribution
We define an iterative error-minimizing secret key adapting method for multicarrier CVQKD. A multicarrier CVQKD protocol uses Gaussian subcarrier quantum continuous variables (CVs) for the transmission. The proposed method allows for the parties to reach a given target secret key rate with minimized error rate through the Gaussian subchannels by a sub-channel adaption procedure. The adaption al...
متن کاملHigh-bit-rate continuous-variable quantum key distribution
Quantum key distribution (QKD) [1] has been the most studied quantum information technology primitive for the past twenty years. In a practical QKD protocol, Alice and Bob can extract an arbitrary amount of secret key using an untrusted physical channel (also called a quantum channel), provided a few minimum assumptions such as they have access to a public authenticated channel. Contrary to cla...
متن کاملAdaptive Quadrature Detection for Multicarrier Continuous-Variable Quantum Key Distribution
We propose the adaptive quadrature detection for multicarrier continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CVQKD). A multicarrier CVQKD scheme uses Gaussian subcarrier continuous variables for the information conveying and Gaussian sub-channels for the transmission. The proposed multicarrier detection scheme dynamically adapts to the subchannel conditions using a corresponding statistics which...
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 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...
