Abstract: | In this paper, we consider the controllably secure quantum key distribution (QKD) with coherent
source, i.e., the practical decoy state QKD with finite
resource is studied within the scope of some controllable security
parameters. Our simulation shows the controllably secure QKD is more
resource-consuming compared with the practical decoy QKD with
relatively statistical fluctuation. However, further numerically
solutions show that both protocols agree well with each other in the
asymptotic limit, where the resource is large enough but not
infinite. Our work shows the dark counts will contribute apparently
to the transmission distance when communication distance approaches
to the asymptotic limit. It also shows that both the secure
transmission distance and the rate of the secure final key can be
increased apparently when the security estimation parameters are not
fixed but numerically optimized. |
