Quantum Key Distribution with Continuous Variables in Optics

نویسنده

  • T. C. Ralph
چکیده

We discuss a quantum key distribution scheme in which small phase and amplitude modulations of quantum limited, CW light beams carry the key information. We identify universal constraints on the level of shared information between the intended receiver (Bob) and any eavesdropper (Eve) and use this to make a general evaluation of the security and efficiency of the scheme.

Quantum cloning and key distribution with continuous variables

Quantum information with continuous variables is a paradigm which has attracted a growing interest lately, as a consequence of the prospect for high-rate quantum communication systems that may result from the use of standard telecommunication components. After introducing the concept of quantum continuous variables in optics, we turn to the fundamental impossibility of cloning continuous-variab...

From quantum cloning to quantum key distribution with continuous variables: a review (Invited)

Quantum information processing with continuous variables is a paradigm that has attracted a growing interest over the past years, partly as a consequence of the prospects for high-rate quantum communication systems based on standard optical telecommunication components. In this overview article, we introduce the concept of quantum continuous variables in optics and then turn to the fundamental ...

Quantum Cloning with Continuous Variables

Quantum information theory has developed dramatically over the past decade, driven by the prospects of quantum-enhanced communication and computation systems. Among the most striking successes, one finds for example the discovery of quantum factoring, quantum key distribution, or quantum teleportation. Most of these concepts were initially developed for discrete quantum variables, in particular...

Field test of classical symmetric encryption with continuous variables quantum key distribution.

We report on the design and performance of a point-to-point classical symmetric encryption link with fast key renewal provided by a Continuous Variable Quantum Key Distribution (CVQKD) system. Our system was operational and able to encrypt point-to-point communications during more than six months, from the end of July 2010 until the beginning of February 2011. This field test was the first demo...

Dynamical evolution of nonclassical properties in cavity quantum electrodynamics with a single trapped ion

In this paper, by considering a system consisting of a single two-level trapped ion interacting with a single-mode quantized radiation field inside a lossless cavity, the temporal evolution of the ionic and the cavity-field quantum statistical properties including photon-counting statistics, quantum fluctuations of the field quadratures and quantum fluctuations of the ionic dipole variables are...
