Abstract

We propose a new non-Gaussian version of the continuous variables measurement device independent quantum key distribution (CV-MDI-QKD) protocol by utilizing a photon added-then-subtracted (PAS) state. We report that our single- and two-mode PAS-CV-MDI-QKD protocols outperform pure state CV-MDI-QKD protocol when considering weak squeezing and high noise, which is the practical regime. With such resources, CV-MDI-QKD is inaccessible when using a pure TMSV state, while PAS-CV-MDI-QKD can generate a useful key rate in this regime. We also compare PAS-CV-MDI-QKD with a two-mode photon replaced (2PR) state, which was not studied in low squeezing for MDI-QKD before.

利用非高斯运算为弱挤压态启用 CV-MDI-QKD

我们提出了一种新的非高斯版本的连续变量测量设备独立量子密钥分配（CV-MDI-QKD）协议，它利用了光子先添加后减缩（PAS）状态。我们报告说，当考虑到弱挤压和高噪声（这是实际情况）时，我们的单模和双模 PAS-CV-MDI-QKD 协议优于纯态 CV-MDI-QKD 协议。在这种资源条件下，使用纯 TMSV 状态时，CV-MDI-QKD 无法访问，而 PAS-CV-MDI-QKD 则能在这种情况下生成有用的密钥速率。我们还将 PAS-CV-MDI-QKD 与双模光子置换（2PR）态进行了比较，在低挤压条件下用于 MDI-QKD 时，这种态以前从未被研究过。
