Security of six-state quantum key distribution protocol with threshold detectors
The security of quantum key distribution (QKD) is established by a security proof, and the security proof puts some assumptions on the devices consisting of a QKD system. Among such assumptions, security proofs of the six-state protocol assume the use of photon number resolving (PNR) detector, and as a result the bit error rate threshold for secure key generation for the six-state protocol is h...
متن کامل100 km differential phase shift quantum key distribution experiment with low jitter up-conversion detectors.
We present a quantum key distribution experiment in which keys that were secure against all individual eavesdropping attacks allowed by quantum mechanics were distributed over 100 km of optical fiber. We implemented the differential phase shift quantum key distribution protocol and used low timing jitter 1.55 microm single-photon detectors based on frequency up-conversion in periodically poled ...
متن کاملTomography of quantum detectors
Measurement connects the world of quantum phenomena to the world of classical events. It has both a passive role—in observing quantum systems—and an active one, in preparing quantum states and controlling them. In view of the central status of measurement in quantum mechanics, it is surprising that there is no general recipe for designing a detector that measures a given observable1. Compoundin...

متن کاملInGaAs/InP Single-Photon Avalanche Diode Detectors for Quantum Key Distribution
The application of quantum key distribution has raised particular demands for single-photon detectors. The most promising candidate at the low-loss optical fibre communications windows has been the planar-geometry InGaAs/InP single-photon avalanche diode detector. These detectors have been modelled, fabricated, and characterized at 1.55μm wavelength. Their performance in terms of single-photon ...
