Abstract

One of the difficulties in the application of quantum communication is the fragility of its encoded quantum states. Conventional quantum key distribution (QKD) requires strict filtering operations at the receiver. Any ambient light entering the system can significantly increase the bit error rate and even render the system inoperable. We present a continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CV-QKD) system that can function effectively during the day or even on rainy days without complex filtering operations. The Gaussian modulated coherent state continuous-variable quantum key distribution (GMCS CV-QKD) system demonstrates robustness, maintaining a secure key rate (SKR) of more than 100 kbps when operating at a frequency of 10 MHz, which lays the foundation for low-cost, highly robust free-space quantum communication.

高背景噪声下自由空间连续变量量子密钥分布
量子通信的应用难点之一是其编码量子态的脆弱性。传统的量子密钥分发(QKD)需要在接收端进行严格的过滤操作。任何进入系统的环境光都会显著增加误码率,甚至使系统无法运行。我们提出了一种连续变量量子密钥分发(CV-QKD)系统,该系统可以在白天甚至雨天有效运行,而无需复杂的过滤操作。高斯调制相干态连续变量量子密钥分配(GMCS CV-QKD)系统具有鲁棒性,在10 MHz频率下保持超过100 kbps的安全密钥速率,为低成本、高鲁棒性的自由空间量子通信奠定了基础。
