Quantum key distribution with bright entangled beams.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We suggest a quantum cryptographic scheme using continuous EPR-like correlations of bright optical beams. For binary key encoding, the continuous information is discretized in a novel way by associating a respective measurement, amplitude, or phase, with a bit value "1" or "0." The secure key distribution is guaranteed by the quantum correlations. No predetermined information is sent through the quantum channel contributing to the security of the system.

Bright entanglement in the intracavity nonlinear coupler
We show that the intracavity Kerr nonlinear coupler is a potential source of bright continuous variable entangled light beams which are tunable and spatially separated. We use a linearized fluctuation analysis to calculate the necessary correlations in regimes where it is valid. This means that we are treating regimes where the system exhibits Gaussian statistics so that well-known criteria are...
متن کاملQuantum limits for cascaded nondegenerate optical parametric oscillators
The continuous variable multicolor entangled state of optical modes is one of the essential quantum resources for constructing quantum information networks composed of many nodes and channels. It has been well proved that the cascaded nondegenerate optical parametric oscillators (CNOPOs) are the most successful devices to produce bright entangled optical beams with different wavelengths. Here, ...
متن کاملEntanglement Based Quantum Key Distribution Using a Bright Sagnac Entangled Photon Source
We report on improvements in an entangled free-space quantum key distribution (QKD) system by replacing the original non-collinear type-II spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) polarization entangled photon source with a new brighter Sagnac interferometric entangled photon source. While the SPDC source was integral to the initial setup of the system, it was limited in photon pair produc...
متن کاملEntangled images from four-wave mixing.
Two beams of light can be quantum mechanically entangled through correlations of their phase and intensity fluctuations. For a pair of spatially extended image-carrying light fields, the concept of entanglement can be applied not only to the entire images but also to their smaller details. We used a spatially multimode amplifier based on four-wave mixing in a hot vapor to produce twin images th...
متن کاملBright three-color entangled state produced by cascaded optical parametric oscillators
We propose a generation system of continuous-variable (CV) three-color entangled state of bright optical beams based on two cascaded standard nondegenerate optical parametric oscillators (NOPOs) above the threshold. One of signal and idler beams produced by the first NOPO is used for the pump light of the second NOPO. The three-color entanglement among signal and idler beams produced by the sec...
