Optimized Polarization Encoder with High Extinction Ratio for Quantum Key Distribution System
نویسندگان
چکیده
Polarization encoding is a promising approach for practical quantum key distribution (QKD) systems due to its simple and decoding methodology. In this study, we propose self-compensating polarization encoder (SCPE) based on phase modulator, which can be composed of commercial off-the-shelf (COT) devices. We conducted proof-of-concept experiment test the SCPE, demonstrated an in-system bit error rate (QBER) 0.53% long-term running stability without any active adjustments. Additionally, experiments with transmission over fiber spools lengths up 100 km obtained secure finite 3 kbps. Our solution various protocols, including BB84, MDI, RFI.

Quantum key distribution with blind polarization bases.
We propose a new quantum key distribution scheme that uses the blind polarization basis. In our scheme the sender and the receiver share key information by exchanging qubits with arbitrary polarization angles without basis reconciliation. As only random polarizations are transmitted, our protocol is secure even when a key is embedded in a not-so-weak coherent-state pulse. We show its security a...
متن کاملHigh Speed Fiber-Based Quantum Key Distribution using Polarization Encoding
We have implemented a quantum key distribution (QKD) system with polarization encoding at 850 nm over 1 km of optical fiber. The high-speed management of the bit-stream, generation of random numbers and processing of the sifting algorithm are all handled by a pair of custom data handling circuit boards. As a complete system using a clock rate of 1.25 Gbit/s, it produces sifted keys at a rate of...
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 کاملHigh-extinction ratio integrated photonic filters for silicon quantum photonics.
We present the generation of quantum-correlated photon pairs and subsequent pump rejection across two silicon-on-insulator photonic integrated circuits. Incoherently cascaded lattice filters are used to provide over 100 dB pass-band to stop-band contrast with no additional external filtering. Photon pairs generated in a microring resonator are successfully separated from the input pump, confirm...
متن کاملHigh-extinction-ratio resonant cavity polarizer for quantum-optics measurements.
The use of a high-finesse Fabry-Perot ring cavity with an odd number of reflections as a high-extinction-ratio resonant polarizer is shown. Experimental results from quantum-noise measurements using resonant cavities as spatial and spectral filters and precision polarizers are presented.
