Long-distance entanglement-based quantum key distribution over optical fiber.
We report the first entanglement-based quantum key distribution (QKD) experiment over a 100-km optical fiber. We used superconducting single photon detectors based on NbN nanowires that provide high-speed single photon detection for the 1.5-mum telecom band, an efficient entangled photon pair source that consists of a fiber coupled periodically poled lithium niobate waveguide and ultra low loss...
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 کاملEntanglement and Quantum Key Distribution
Entanglement in quantum mechanics refers to particles whose individual states cannot be written without reference to the state of other particles. Such states are said to be non-separable, and measurements of the state of one entangled particle alter the state of all entangled particles. This unusual phenomena has applications in quantum teleportation, superdense coding, and various other appli...
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 کاملContinuous-Variables Quantum Key Distribution over Standard Telecom Fiber
In this report, a Gaussian-modulated coherent state quantum key distribution (GMCS QKD) system implemented in telecom wavelength is investigated. This is the first experimental demonstration of one-way GMCS QKD over kilometers of standard telecom fiber. We achieved system performance that would result in a secrete key rate of > 10kb/s of a reverse reconciliation protocol under realistic assumpt...
