Abstract

The invention provides a quantum key distribution system and method. The system comprises a sending device and a receiving device. The sending device is used for randomly sending two predetermined nonorthogonal quantum states |phi> and |Phi> to the receiving device and discarding data of which a measurement result is null and which corresponds to |phi> or |Phi>. The receiving device is used for measuring the received quantum states by random use of one of two groups of measurement bases to obtain measurement results, sending information of data positions corresponding to a non-null measurementresult, |phi> and |Phi> to the sending device and discarding the data of which the measurement result is null and which corresponds to |phi> or |Phi>. Each of the sending device and the receiving device is used for performing parameter estimation according to left data of a preset part to obtain a bit error rate and, when the bit error rate is not higher than a preset threshold, performing errorcorrection and privacy amplification to obtain a key. According to the quantum key distribution system and method, secure quantum key distribution can be implemented by use of only two nonorthogonal quantum states, so that the equipment cost is reduced and the key rate is increased.

Description

Technical field [0001] This application relates to the field of quantum information technology, in particular to a quantum key distribution system and method. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of Internet technology, the importance of communication security is increasing day by day. In many situations, both parties in communication hope to conduct confidential communication while using public channels. For example, when a user submits an account number and password to online banking, the user hopes that this information will be kept confidential during the transmission process, that is, no third party can eavesdrop. The currently widely used encryption method is the public key encryption algorithm. Such algorithms are based on the algorithmic complexity of certain mathematical problems. With the development of technology, their security is threatened. Therefore, we urgently need to develop more secure and reliable encryption methods. [0003] Quantum key ...
