Abstract

The invention provides a quantum key distribution (QKD) system synchronization method. A quantum key distribution system is a duplex QKD system, Alices of QKD units at two ends of the duplex QKD system are capable of transmitting two kinds of synchronous light different in wave length, and the transmitted synchronous light is transmitted in the same optical fiber link, so that when two QKD links are operated on the optical fiber link, the wave length of the synchronous light on the two links is different, Bobs of the QKD units at two ends adopt a light filter to separate the synchronous light, and corresponding discriminators are adopted to have the synchronous light discriminated. The invention further provides a synchronization device of the quantum key distribution system. The quantum key distribution system synchronization method and device have the advantages that the synchronous light different in wavelength is adopted at two ends of the duplex QKD system respectively, so that the problem that the duplex QKD system cannot perform full-duplex operation due to reflection of the synchronous light is solved; the device is simple and convenient to operate and convenient for batch production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of quantum secure communication, and in particular provides a synchronization method of a quantum key distribution system and a duplex QKD system based on the synchronization method. Background technique [0002] The fundamental difference between Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and the classical key system is that it uses a single photon or entangled photon pair as the carrier of the key, and the basic principles of quantum mechanics guarantee that the process cannot be eavesdropped or Decipherability, thus providing a more secure key system. At present, the technology of using entangled photon pairs to realize quantum key distribution is not very mature, and there is still a considerable distance from practicality; while the technology of quantum key distribution based on single photon has been gradually matured. [0003] Quantum key distribution technology based on single photon usually has two encoding methods: po...
