Problems solved by technology

However, the BB84 protocol requires two sets of orthogonal bases to transmit two-bit quantum signals to ensure the quantum randomness of the signal. Through two sets of orthogonal bases to transmit signals, each particle can only represent bit 0 or 1, resulting in relatively low frequency spectrum utilization of the signal. Low, which reduces the coding rate of the quantum key distribution system

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a quantum key distribution system and method. The system includes: a first phase modulator for performing phase modulation on a single-photon signal based on a first random number sequence; a 90-degree phase shifter for performing a 90-degree phase shift on the output signal of the first phase modulator, The first channel of single-photon modulation signal is obtained; the second phase modulator is used to perform phase modulation on the single-photon signal based on the second random number sequence to obtain the second channel of single-photon modulation signal; the 180-degree mixer is used to One channel of single-photon modulation signal and the second channel of single-photon modulation signal are mixed by 180 degrees to obtain two channels of mixed-frequency coherent signals; two single-photon detectors are used to detect the two channels of mixed-frequency coherent signals respectively to obtain detection result; a processor for determining a communication key based on the detection result, the basis selected by the first phase modulator at different times, and the basis selected by the second phase modulator at different times.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of communication technologies, and in particular, to a quantum key distribution system and method. Background technique [0002] Quantum key distribution (QKD) uses microscopic particles as a carrier for key distribution. The security of the key is guaranteed by basic physical principles. In theory, both parties use quantum key distribution combined with "one-time pad" encryption. In this way, users who are separated from two places can securely exchange keys and realize secure communication. [0003] As the first quantum key distribution protocol in the world, the quantum BB84 protocol has been widely used and studied in the field of quantum key distribution. However, the BB84 protocol requires two sets of orthogonal bases to transmit two-bit quantum signals to ensure the quantum randomness of the signals. Through the two sets of orthogonal bases to transmit signals, each particle can only represent a bit 0...
