چکیده

We show how to calculate the fraction of single-photon counts of the 3-intensity decoy-state quantum cryptography faithfully with both statistical fluctuations and source errors. Our results rely only on the bound values of a few parameters of the states of pulses. 6 Author to whom any correspondence should be addressed.

Decoy-state quantum key distribution with biased basis choice

We propose a quantum key distribution scheme that combines a biased basis choice with the decoy-state method. In this scheme, Alice sends all signal states in the Z basis and decoy states in the X and Z basis with certain probabilities, and Bob measures received pulses with optimal basis choice. This scheme simplifies the system and reduces the random number consumption. From the simulation res...

Practical 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 ...

200km 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...

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...

Passive 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...
