基于光前置放大器的量子密钥分发融合经典通信方案

量子密钥分发融合经典通信方案将连续变量量子密钥分发和经典通信合并到了一起,为将来在现有的光网络上同时进行密钥分发和经典通信提供了一个有效的方法.然而,在量子信号上叠加一个经典信号将会给连续变量量子密钥分发系统引入过噪声从而大大降低系统的性能.本文提出基于光前置放大器的量子密钥分发融合经典通信方案,即在接收端插入光前置放大器来提升系统的性能.首先,在相同比特误码率条件下,光前置放大器对信号的放大能够降低对发送端经典信号调制振幅的要求,从而降低经典信号对量子信号的噪声影响;其次,光前置放大器能够补偿接收端探测器的不完美;再次,对于本地本振光的情形,放大器还能放大弱相位参考脉冲,从而降低参考脉冲散粒噪声带来的相位过噪声.在实际可达到的系统参数下,数值仿真结果表明本文提出的方案相比于原方案在安全密钥率和传输距离上都有很好的提升.这些结果表明本方案为量子密钥分发融合经典通信方案的进一步发展和实际应用提供了一个十分有效而实用的方法.

Differential Phase Shift Quantum Secret Sharing Using a Twin Field with Asymmetric Source Intensities

As an essential application of quantum mechanics in classical cryptography, quantum secret sharing has become an indispensable component of quantum internet. Recently, a differential phase shift quantum secret sharing protocol using a twin field has been proposed to break the linear rate-distance boundary. However, this original protocol has a poor performance over channels with asymmetric transmittances. To make it more practical, we present a differential phase shift quantum secret sharing protocol with asymmetric source intensities and give the security proof of our protocol against individual attacks. Taking finite-key effects into account, our asymmetric protocol can theoretically obtain the key rate two orders of magnitude higher than that of the original protocol when the difference in length between Alice’s channel and Bob’s is fixed at 14 km. Moreover, our protocol can provide a high key rate even when the difference is quite large and has great robustness against finite-key effects. Therefore, our work is meaningful for the real-life applications of quantum secret sharing.     

Quantum Key Distribution Network Based on Differential Phase Shift

Using a series of quantum correlated photon pairs, we propose a theoretical scheme for any-to-any multi-user quantum key distribution network based on differential phase shift. The differential phase shift and the different detection time slots ensure the security of our scheme against eavesdropping. We discuss the security under the intercept-resend attack and the source replacement attack.     

A free-space-based differential phase shift quantum key distribution scheme with higher key creation efficiency

Differential phase shift quantum key distribution scheme has been improved by introducing a passive path selection structure at the transmitter including two polarization controllers used to mark the photon pulses and a polarizing beam splitter to distinguish these pulses so that can make different time delay at the receiver. Theoretical analysis indicates that a free-space-based differential phase shift quantum key distribution system with this proposed improvement will have high efficiency with the utilization ratio of photons reaching 100% under ideal condition.     

Lower bound for the security of differential phase shift quantum key distribution against a one-pulse-attack

Quantum key distribution is the art of sharing secret keys between two distant parties, and has attracted a lot of attention due to its unconditional security. Compared with other quantum key distribution protocols, the differential phase shift quantum key distribution protocol has higher efficiency and simpler apparatus. Unfortunately, the unconditional security of differential phase shift quantum key distribution has not been proved. Utilizing the sharp continuity of the von Neuman entropy and some basic inequalities, we estimate the upper bound for the eavesdropper Eve's information. We then prove the lower bound for the security of the differential phase shift quantum key distribution protocol against a one-pulse attack with Devatak-Winter's secret key rate formula.

Controlled phase gates based on two nonidentical quantum dots trapped in separate cavities

We propose a scheme for realizing two-qubit controlled phase gates on two nonidentical quantum dots trapped in separate cavities. In our scheme, each dot simultaneously interacts with one highly detuned cavity mode and two strong driven classical fields. During the gate operation, the quantum dots undergo no transition, while the system can acquire different phases conditional on different states of the quantum dots. With the application of the single-qubit operations, two-qubit controlled phase gates can be realized.     

On the possibility of soliton-like double-frequency propagation of femtosecond pulses in an optical fiber under conditions of second harmonic generation

A soliton-like mode of double-frequency propagation of femtosecond pulses during second harmonic generation (SHG) in optical fibers is predicted on the basis of computer simulation. The essence of this mode is that, under certain conditions, the central part of the pulses of both the fundamental and the second harmonic waves propagate without a change in the intensity of either wave. This mode can be realized by either of two schemes of the SHG process. In the first scheme, the second harmonic enters a nonlinear medium with some definite input amplitude and definite phase shift with respect to the fundamental wave. In the other scheme, the second harmonic has a zero input amplitude and a phase shift is introduced into the interacting waves in particular cross sections of the medium.
