چکیده
Abstract The decoy-state method substantially improves the performance of quantum key distribution (QKD) and perfectly solves crucial issues caused by multiphoton pulses. In recent years, has occupied a position in practicality, almost all QKD systems have employed method. However, imperfections traditional intensity modulators limit bring side channels. this work, special modulator its accompanying modulation are designed experimentally verified for secure, stable, high-performance QKDs. experimental result indicates that stable adjustable intensities, convenient two-level modulation, inherently high speed, compact structure is extremely fit future trends will help to be applied systems.

Decoy state quantum key distribution.
There has been much interest in quantum key distribution. Experimentally, quantum key distribution over 150 km of commercial Telecom fibers has been successfully performed. The crucial issue in quantum key distribution is its security. Unfortunately, all recent experiments are, in principle, insecure due to real-life imperfections. Here, we propose a method that can for the first time make most...
متن کاملDecoy State Quantum Key Distribution
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 unconditional...
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 کاملSecure Communication with One Decoy State and Two Way Quantum Key Distribution Scheme
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) provides a mean for unconditionally secure secret key sharing for secure communication. For a practical QKD system, the recently proposed decoy state protocol has become an essential tool. In this work, we conduct numerical analysis against several bounds for one decoy state with two way QKD protocol and compare their performance in terms of key rate and maximum s...
