Photon polarization state compensation method based on complete reconstruction

Abstract

The invention provides a photon polarization state compensation method based on complete reconstruction. A transmitting end and a receiving end encode and decode the photon polarization state by randomly using three groups of non-orthogonal polarization bases; the photon polarization state to be received in expectation is expressed by a point on the poincare sphere; the error rate of the photon polarization state to the polarization state itself is calculated when the bases are matched, the uncertainty rate of the photon polarization state to one of the groups of non-orthogonal bases is calculated when the bases are not matched, the uncertainty rate of the photon polarization state to the other one of the groups of non-orthogonal bases is further calculated when the bases are not matched, so that the complete reconstruction of the photon polarization state is realized, a polarization control apparatus is adjusted, and the photon polarization state compensation of a quantum key distribution system is realized. According to the invention, without influencing the communication efficiency and distance of the quantum key distribution system and increasing the system cost, the bad influence of trail compensation is eliminated by complete reconstruction, and the timeliness and the accuracy of real-time compensation to the two non-orthogonal photon polarization states are further improved.

Background technique [0002] At present, the polarization compensation schemes used in the known quantum key distribution system mainly include two-way optical path polarization self-compensation, interruption compensation, time division multiplexing compensation and wavelength division multiplexing compensation [Several polarization compensation technologies of optical fiber quantum key distribution system, Wang Jian, Advances in Lasers and Optoelectronics]. In the polarization self-compensation scheme based on the bidirectional optical path structure, the transmission distance is limited because the photons go back and forth through the optical fiber twice, the system efficiency is relatively low,...
