چکیده

The optical phase shifter that constantly rotates the local oscillator is a necessity in continuous-variable quantum key distribution systems with heterodyne detection. In previous experimental implementations, generally regarded as an ideal passive device perfectly of electromagnetic wave $90^\circ$. However, practice introduces imperfections, mainly measurement angular error, which inevitably deteriorates security practical systems. Here, we will give concrete interpretation error and corresponding entanglement-based description. Subsequently, from parameter estimation, deduce overestimated excess noise underestimated transmittance, lead to reduction final secret rate. Simultaneously, propose estimation method error. Next, analysis provided detail, effect its compensation scheme are demonstrated. We conclude severely degrades security, but proposed calibration can significantly help improve performance CV-QKD

Security of continuous-variable quantum key distribution against general attacks.

We prove the security of Gaussian continuous-variable quantum key distribution with coherent states against arbitrary attacks in the finite-size regime. In contrast to previously known proofs of principle (based on the de Finetti theorem), our result is applicable in the practically relevant finite-size regime. This is achieved using a novel proof approach, which exploits phase-space symmetries...

Single-quadrature continuous-variable quantum key distribution

Most continuous-variable quantum key distribution schemes are based on the Gaussian modulation of coherent states followed by continuous quadrature detection using homodyne detectors. In all previous schemes, the Gaussian modulation has been carried out in conjugate quadratures thus requiring two independent modulators for their implementations. Here, we propose and experimentally test a largel...

Iterative Secret Key Rate Adapting with Error Minimization for Continuous-Variable Quantum Key Distribution

We define an iterative error-minimizing secret key adapting method for multicarrier CVQKD. A multicarrier CVQKD protocol uses Gaussian subcarrier quantum continuous variables (CVs) for the transmission. The proposed method allows for the parties to reach a given target secret key rate with minimized error rate through the Gaussian subchannels by a sub-channel adaption procedure. The adaption al...

Quantum error correction of continuous-variable states against Gaussian noise

Continuous-variable quantum information protocols use quantum operations and measurements acting on states with continuous eigenvalue spectra to perform quantum information tasks such as quantum teleportation, quantum key distribution, and quantum processing [1]. An attraction of continuous-variable protocols is that many require only Gaussian states, operations, and measurements [2]—all of whi...

Low-Dimensional Reconciliation for Continuous-Variable Quantum Key Distribution

We propose an efficient logical layer-based reconciliation method for continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CVQKD) to extract binary information from correlated Gaussian variables. We demonstrate that by operating on the raw-data level, the noise of the quantum channel can be corrected in the low-dimensional (scalar) space, and the reconciliation can be extended to arbitrary dimensions....
