MIMO量子信道的空间自由度研究

量子通信是一个量子密钥分发过程,目前采用的通信技术严重制约了量子密钥分发的比特率.将多输入多输出（MIMO）技术应用于量子通信系统,提高量子密钥分发的比特率,促进量子通信向高速大容量发展.然而,量子场本身不可避免地存在量子噪声约束容量的增长,限制了可利用空间资源,即空间自由度.文中采用光子场的量子化和满足Schrdinger方程条件的电磁场波动方程推导出MIMO量子信道的空间自由度上限,为开发稳健的MIMO量子通信空时处理算法和优化设计高性能MIMO量子通信系统提供理论基础和技术支持. 关键词： 多输入多输出 量子密钥分发 Schrdinger方程 光子场的量子化

一种新的预报单光子源诱骗态量子密钥分发方案

提出一种新的预报单光子源诱骗态量子密钥分发方案.在发端采用参量下变换产生纠缠光子对,其中之一用来进行预报探测,根据探测结果将另一路光脉冲分成两个集合,其中预报探测有响应的脉冲集合用作信号态,无响应的脉冲集合作为诱骗态.由于探测效率的问题,这两个集合都是有光子的,通过这两个集合的通过率和错误率估计出单光子的通过率和错误率.此方法不需要改变光强,简单可行.仿真结果表明：该方法可以达到完美单光子源的安全通信距离;与预报单光子源的量子密钥分发相比,密钥产生率有了很大的提高;和三强度预报单光子源诱骗态量子密钥分发的 关键词： 量子保密通信 量子密钥分发 诱骗态 预报单光子源

量子保密通信的技术现状及安全性

理论上，量子密钥分发可以带来绝对安全的保密通信．但是真实系统的量子密钥分发的安全性需要进一步证明．现有的基于弱相干态的量子密码实验在光子数分离攻击下是完全不安全的．诱骗信号方案（decoy-state method）及纠缠对分发方案可以实现基于现有技术的、真实系统的绝对安全量子密钥分发．     

纠缠压缩真空态的纠缠转移

通过分析光学分束器对压缩真空态光场的作用,发现如果分束器的输入光是两束具有同样振幅和相位的单模压缩真空态光场,则输出光为双模压缩真空态光场;若分束器的输入光是两束具有同样振幅但有π相位差的单模压缩真空态光场,则输出光仍为两束单模压缩真空态光场.对于双模压缩真空态光场,每个模中容纳的光子数可以是基数或偶数.而对于单模压缩真空态光场,每个模中只能包含偶数个光子.根据这些结果,提出了一个纠缠转移的方案.在这个方案中,两个纠缠压缩真空态光场被用作量子信道,通过利用光学分束器作用和光子数探测的方法,并在经典通讯的帮助下,实现了三个通讯伙伴之间的纠缠转移.     

双模压缩态量子相干性演化的实验研究

量子相干性作为量子力学一个最显著的特征,被认为是量子信息过程中很重要的一种量子资源.单模压缩态和双模压缩态(Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen纠缠态)均具有量子相干性,在制备和传输过程中的量子相干性对于实际应用具有重要意义.利用平衡零拍探测重构量子态的协方差矩阵,本文定量分析了量子态制备过程中的不完美以及信道传输损耗对单模和双模压缩态量子相干性的影响.实验证明量子态的压缩和纠缠特性及量子相干性对损耗均是鲁棒的.特别地,压缩和纠缠特性会随着量子态制备过程中热光子数的增大而减小,直至消失,而当压缩和纠缠均已消失时,量子相干性依然存在.实验结果为压缩态、纠缠态光场的量子相干性作为量子资源在量子信息过程中的应用提供了参考.

对称噪声信道下利用多纠缠态实现量子密钥分配

研究了对称噪声信道下的量子密钥分配(Quantum Key Distribution,QKD)过程，并得到了其误码率和信道保真度的关系式。基于量子态的局域区分原理，我们提出了使用“多纠缠态”进行噪声信道下的密钥分配的新方案。应用这个新方案，我们可以获得和在理想无噪声信道下使用最大纠缠态(四个Bell态之一)进行QKD一样好的结果。     

湍流大气对量子密钥分布系统性能的影响

自由空间量子密钥分布系统是全球性量子保密通信的关键组成部分之一。因此研究湍流大气信道对量子密钥分布系统性能的影响就非常重要。使用光束近场传播和统计分析的方法定量分析了湍流大气信道对基于BB84协议的自由空间量子密钥分布系统的误码率的影响。数值计算结果表明,大气衰减系数超过-3dB/km时,大气衰减对量子密钥分布系统的误码率影响很大;在大气传输因子小于0.5的区域,系统误码率比无湍流影响时的系统误码率高出一个数量级。     

Large-alphabet quantum key distribution using energy-time entangled bipartite States

We present a protocol for large-alphabet quantum key distribution (QKD) using energy-time entangled biphotons. Binned, high-resolution timing measurements are used to generate a large-alphabet key with over 10 bits of information per photon pair, albeit with large noise. QKD with 5% bit error rate is demonstrated with 4 bits of information per photon pair, where the security of the quantum channel is determined by the visibility of Franson interference fringes. The protocol is easily generalizable to even larger alphabets, and utilizes energy-time entanglement which is robust to transmission over large distances in fiber.     

Cryptanalysis of Multiparty Quantum Secret Sharing of Quantum State Using Entangled States

Security of a quantum secret sharing of quantum state protocol proposed by Guo et al. [Chin. Phys. Lett. 25 （2008） 16] is reexamined. It is shown that an eavesdropper can obtain some of the transmitted secret information by monitoring the classical channel or the entire secret by intercepting the quantum states, and moreover, the eavesdropper can even maliciously replace the secret message with an arbitrary message without being detected. Finally, the deep reasons why an eavesdropper can attack this protocol are discussed and the modified protocol is presented to amend the security loopholes.     

Experimental Decoy State Quantum Key Distribution Over 120km Fibre

Decoy state quantum key distribution （QKD）, being capable of beating PNS attack and being unconditionally secure has become attractive recently. However, in many QKD systems, disturbances of transmission channel make the quantum bit error rate （QBER） increase, which limits both security distance and key bit rate of real-world decoy state QKD systems. We demonstrate the two-intensity decoy QKD with a one-way Faraday- Michelson phase modulation system, which is free of channel disturbance and keeps an interference fringe visibility （99%） long period, over a 120 km single mode optical fibre in telecom （1550nm） wavelength. This is the longest distance fibre decoy state QKD system based on the two-intensity protocol.     

Improving Key Rate of Optical Fiber Quantum Key Distribution System Based on Channel Tomography

We investigate the key rate of polarization-coded optical fiber-based quantum key distribution system (QKD) with BB84 protocol by channel tomography. The quantum bit error rate (QBER) of the QKD system under depolarizing channel is obtained by analyzing output density operators, transmission rate of channel, transmission rate of the receiver and dark count of single photon detector. According to the estimated QBER an LDPC chosen adaptively is applied to information reconciliation and the practical final key rate is discussed. Analysis results show that compared with cascade scheme and no channel knowledge the key rate can be improved by the proposed reconciliation scheme with channel tomography.     

Differential-phase quantum key distribution experiment using a series of quantum entangled photon pairs

We report what we believe to be the first differential-phase quantum key distribution experiment using a series of quantum entangled photon pairs. We employed two outstanding techniques. As an entangled photon source, we used a 1.5 microm band entangled photon pair source based on spontaneous four-wave mixing in a cooled dispersion-shifted fiber. As receivers, photon pairs were actively phase modulated with LiNbO3 phase modulators followed by very stable planar light-wave circuit Mach-Zehnder interferometers, which provided two nonorthogonal measurements. As a consequence, we successfully generated sifted keys with a quantum bit error rate of 8.3% and a key generation rate of 0.3 bit/s and revealed the feasibility of this QKD scheme.

QKD system with fast active optical path length compensation

We develop a quantum key distribution (QKD) system with fast active optical path length compensation. A rapid and reliable active optical path length compensation scheme is proposed and applied to a plug-and-play QKD system. The system monitors changes in key rates and controls it is own operation automatically. The system achieves its optimal performance within three seconds of operation, which includes a sifted key rate of 5.5 kbps and a quantum bit error rate of less than 2% after an abrupt temperature variation along the 25 km quantum channel. The system also operates well over a 24 h period while completing more than 60 active optical path length compensations.
