Embodiment Construction

[0024] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0025] The present invention comprises the following steps

[0026] (1) The user sends a signal photon to the server directly or via a relay station through the quantum network, and records the emission time T1;

[0027] (2) The server receives the signal photon sent by the user, and records the receiving time T2;

[0028] (3) The server sends signal photons back to the user through the quantum network, and records the emission time T3;

[0029] (4) The user receives the signal photon sent by the server, and records the receiving time T4;

[0030] (5) The server sends the values ​​of T2 and T3 to the user through the classic network;

[0031] (6) The total delay of the signal photon passing through the relay station from the server to the user is recorded as Δt1;

[0032] (7) The total delay of the signal photon passing through the relay st...

Abstract

The invention relates to a time synchronization method in a quantum network. According to the method, a user emits signal photons to a server through the quantum network and records emitting time T1; the server receives the signal photons and records receiving time T2; the server emits the signal photons to the user and records emitting time T3; the user receives the signal photons emitted by the server and records receiving time T4; time delay of a relay station is recorded, so that time relay indeterminacy of the signal photons passing through the relay station can be eliminated, and therefore, time consumed by the emission of the signal photons from the user to the server through the relay station and by means of the quantum network and time consumed by the emission of the signal photons from the server to the user through the relay station can be identical, and the accuracy of time synchronization can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of quantum communication, and in particular relates to a time synchronization method in a quantum network. Background technique [0002] With the development of science and technology, the accuracy of time measurement has been continuously improved, and the application of high-precision time frequency has become very important. The application of high-precision time frequency is inseparable from high-precision time synchronization technology. With the wide application of high-precision time synchronization technology in basic scientific research, navigation and positioning, electric power, communication, and modern national defense, the accuracy requirements for time synchronization technology are also getting higher and higher. [0003] However, the time service accuracy of NTP (Network Time Protocol), which is widely used on the network, is not very ideal. For example, a kind of time synchronization method based o...
