Reference-frame-independent quantum key distribution of wavelength division multiplexing with multiple quantum channels

Reference-frame-independent quantum key distribution (RFI-QKD) can allow a quantum key distribution system to obtain the ideal key rate and transmission distance without reference system calibration, which has attracted much attention. Here, we propose an RFI-QKD protocol based on wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) considering finite-key analysis and crosstalk. The finite-key bound for RFI-QKD with decoy states is derived under the crosstalk of WDM. The resulting secret key rate of RFI-QKD, which is more rigorous, is obtained. Simulation results reveal that the secret key rate of RFI-QKD based on WDM is affected by the multiplexing channel number, as well as crosstalk between adjacent channels.     

Twin-Field Quantum Key Distribution Protocol Based on Wavelength-Division-Multiplexing Technology

Quantum key distribution(QKD) generates information-theoretical secret keys between two parties based on the physical laws of quantum mechanics. Following the advancement in quantum communication networks, it becomes feasible and economical to combine QKD with classical optical communication through the same fiber using dense wavelength division multiplexing(DWDM) technology. This study proposes a detailed scheme of TF-QKD protocol with DWDM technology and analyzes its performance, considering t...     

GOx@Fe3O4-HNTs微囊反应器的构筑及多酶级联催化性能

细胞内或细胞间的微空间使得生物体内的各种酶促反应能够高效有序地进行.基于此,本文结合天然酶-纳米酶二者的优势,构筑了一种模拟体内酶促级联反应的微囊反应器.首先,以天然硅铝酸盐矿物埃洛石纳米管(HNTs)为载体,在其表面原位生成具有类辣根过氧化物酶活性的四氧化三铁(Fe₃O₄);随后,将其作为囊壁材料封装天然葡萄糖氧化酶(GOx),构筑GOx@Fe₃O₄-HNTs微囊反应器.当向体系中加入葡萄糖时,微囊反应器内的GOx先将葡萄糖转化为葡萄糖酸和过氧化氢(H₂O₂),之后H₂O₂继续被囊壁中的Fe₃O₄催化转化为羟基自由基,触发底物3,3’,5,5’-四甲基联苯胺(TMB)显色.其中,Fe₃O₄-HNTs作为囊壁材料不仅使囊内GOx免受外界环境干扰,还可与GOx构建级联催化反应体系,这种酶-纳米酶微囊化级联体系具有比天然酶系统更优...
