Quantum key distribution with passive decoy state selection
We propose a quantum key distribution scheme which closely matches the performance of a perfect single photon source. It nearly attains the physical upper bound in terms of key generation rate and maximally achievable distance. Our scheme relies on a practical setup based on a parametric downconversion source and present day, nonideal photon-number detection. Arbitrary experimental imperfection...
متن کاملPassive scheme analysis for resolving an untrusted source problem in quantum key distribution
As a practical method, the passive scheme has been used to analyze the security of an untrusted source in quantum key distribution. In the passive scheme, one can utilize average-photon-number (APN) monitor, photon-number-distribution (PND) monitor and photon-number analyzer (PNA) to achieve the unconditional security with using BB84 protocol or decoy-state protocol. In this paper, the ClopperP...
متن کاملHeralded single photon sources for QKD applications
Single photon sources (SPS) are a fundamental building block for optical implementations of quantum information protocols. Among SPSs, multiple crystal heralded single photon sources seem to give the best compromise between high pair production rate and low multiple photon events. In this work, we study their performance in a practical quantum key distribution experiment, by evaluating the achi...
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...
