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.

Simple LCD Transmitter Camera Receiver Data Link

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...

A 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 ...

A 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, ...

Quantum 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...
