Differential Phase Shift Quantum Key Distribution
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel quantum cryptography scheme is proposed, in which a single photon is prepared in a linear superposition state of three basis kets. A photon split to three pulses is sent from Alice to Bob, where the phase difference between sequential two pulses carries bit information. Bob measures the phase difference by passive differential phase detection. This scheme is suitable for fiber transmission systems and offers a key creation efficiency higher than conventional fiber-based BB84.

Differential-phase-shift quantum key distribution using coherent light
Differential-phase-shift quantum key distribution based on two nonorthogonal states is described. A weak coherent pulse train is sent from Alice to Bob, in which the phase of each pulse is randomly modulated by $0,p%. Bob measures the differential phase by a one-bit delay circuit. The system has a simple configuration without the need for an interferometer and a bright reference pulse in Alice’...
متن کاملSecurity of differential quadrature phase shift quantum key distribution
The differential phase shift (DPS) protocol is one of the simplest quantum key distribution protocols for implementation. Despite its practical advantage, current security proofs for the DPS protocol lead to much lower key generation rates compared to the BB84 protocol. We prove the security of a variant of the DPS protocol, called differential quadrature phase shift (DQPS) protocol. In additio...
متن کاملInformation geometric security analysis of differential phase-shift quantum key distribution protocol
This paper analyzes the information-theoretical security of the Differential Phase Shift (DPS) Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) protocol, using efficient computational information geometric algorithms. The DPS QKD protocol was introduced for practical reasons, since the earlier QKD schemes were too complicated to implement in practice. The DPS QKD protocol can be an integrated part of current net...
متن کاملSecurity of differential-phase-shift quantum key distribution against individual attacks
We derive a proof of security for the differential-phase-shift quantum key distribution protocol under the assumption that Eve is restricted to individual attacks. The security proof is derived by bounding the average collision probability, which leads directly to a bound on Eve’s mutual information on the final key. The security proof applies to realistic sources based on pulsed coherent light...
متن کاملDifferential-phase-shift quantum key distribution using heralded narrow-band single photons.
We demonstrate the first proof of principle differential phase shift (DPS) quantum key distribution (QKD) using narrow-band heralded single photons with amplitude-phase modulations. In the 3-pulse case, we obtain a quantum bit error rate (QBER) as low as 3.06% which meets the unconditional security requirement. As we increase the pulse number up to 15, the key creation efficiency approaches 93....
