چکیده
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is a technology that allows secure key exchange between two distant users. A widespread adoption of QKD requires the development simple, low-cost, and stable systems. However, implementation current complex self-alignment process during initial stage an additional hardware to compensate environmental disturbances. In this study, we have presented simple with help transmitter-receiver scheme, which simplifies robust enough withstand case stability test, system able remain for 48 hours exhibits average quantum bit error rate less than 1\% without any feedback control. The scheme also tested over fiber spool, obtaining finite 7.32k bits per second spool extending up 75 km. demonstrated long-term obtained prove our method promising alternative practical systems, in particular, Cubesat platform satellite applications.

We demonstrate a freespace optical system using a consumer camera and projector in indoor environments using available devices for visual computing. Through design, prototype and experimentation with this commodity hardware, we analyze a practical optical solution as well as the drawbacks for current wireless challenges unmet by classic RF wireless communication. We summarize and introduce some...
متن کاملA Simple Security Proof for Entanglement-Based Quantum Key Distribution
Quantum cryptography exploits the quantum mechanical properties of communication lines to enhance the security of the so-called key distribution. In this work, we explain the role played by quantum mechanics in cryptographic tasks and also investigate how secure is quantum cryptography. More importantly, we show by a simple security proof that for any state sent by the sender, the eavesdropper ...
متن کاملA Simple Approach to Error Reconciliation in Quantum Key Distribution
We discuss the error reconciliation phase in quantum key distribution (QKD) and analyse a simple scheme in which blocks with bad parity (that is, blocks containing an odd number of errors) are discarded. We predict the performance of this scheme and show, using a simulation, that the prediction is accurate. ∗Presented at the 53rd Annual Meeting of the Australian Mathematical Society, Adelaide, ...
متن کاملQuantum key distribution using quantum Faraday rotators.
We propose a new quantum key distribution (QKD) protocol based on the fully quantum mechanical states of Faraday rotators. The protocol is unconditionally secure against collective attacks for a multi-photon source of up to two photons on a noisy environment. It is also robust against impersonation attacks. The protocol may be implemented experimentally with the current spintronics technology o...
