Decoy State Quantum Key Distribution
نویسندگان
چکیده
Experimental weak + vacuum protocol has been demonstrated using commercial QKD system based on a standard bi-directional ‘Plug & Play’ set-up. By making simple modifications to a commercial quantum key distribution system, decoy state QKD allows us to achieve much better performance than QKD system without decoy state in terms of key generation rate and distance. We demonstrate an unconditionally secure key rate of 6.2931 x 10 per pulse for a 25 km fiber length.

متن کاملPractical decoy state for quantum key distribution
Decoy states have recently been proposed as a useful method for substantially improving the performance of quantum key distribution QKD . Here, we present a general theory of the decoy state protocol based on only two decoy states and one signal state. We perform optimization on the choice of intensities of the two decoy states and the signal state. Our result shows that a decoy state protocol ...
متن کاملPassive Decoy State Quantum Key Distribution
The use of decoy states enhances the performance of practical quantum key distribution systems significantly by monitoring the quantum channel in a more detailed way. While active modulation of the intensity of the pulses is an effective way of preparing decoy states in principle, in practice passive preparation might be desirable in some scenarios. Known passive methods involve parametric down...
متن کامل200km Decoy-state quantum key distribution with photon polarization
We demonstrate the decoy-state quantum key distribution over 200 km with photon polarization through optical fiber, by using superconducting single photon detector with a repetition rate of 320 Mega Hz and a dark count rate of lower than 1 Hz. Since we have used the polarization coding, the synchronization pulses can be run in a low frequency. The final key rate is 14.1 Hz. The experiment lasts...
متن کاملGeneral theory for decoy-state quantum key distribution with arbitrary number of intensities
Abstract. We develop a general theory for quantum key distribution (QKD) in both the forward error correction and the reverse error correction cases when the QKD system is equipped with phase-randomized coherent light with arbitrary number of decoy intensities. For this purpose, generalizing Wang’s expansion, we derive a convex expansion of the phase-randomized coherent state. We also numerical...
