Polarization paired coding method for free space continuous variable quantum key distribution

Abstract

The invention discloses a polarization paired coding method for free space continuous variable quantum key distribution, which sequentially comprises the following steps: a sender and a laser generating laser pulses, an amplitude modulator adjusting signals, and the laser pulses being decomposed into two orthogonal polarized beams through a first polarization beam splitter; the two polarized lightbeams being subjected to I/Q modulation, after polarization paired coding is completed, performing signal transmission through a polarization beam combiner; after the signal is received, demultiplexing the polarization multiplexing signal through a second polarization beam splitter to obtain two polarized beams; combining two beams of local oscillation signals obtained by a local oscillator through a beam splitter, completing coherent detection through a photoelectric detector, and measuring two beams of polarized light beams; and performing polarization paired decoding by the polarization paired decoding module to obtain a signal transmitted by the sender. According to the invention, the problems in the prior art that the polarization dependent loss is accumulated, the signal distortionis increased, larger errors are generated, and the key distribution rate and the transmission distance in the system are limited are solved.
