Problems solved by technology

But the security proof of discrete modulation is more complex than that of Gaussian modulation, because the assumption of optimality of Gaussian attack no longer applies
[0004] Recently, using convex optimization technology, the security of four-state discrete modulation has been proved, but the key rate is still relatively low compared with Gaussian modulation, which is difficult to meet the practical application

[0057] Unlike single-ring modulation, in double-ring modulation, Alice uses two different amplitudes α 1 and alpha 2 Coherent state is prepared, and α 2 >α 1 ,in:

[0058] The four states of the inner ring are expressed as: {|α x >=|α 1 e ixπ / 2 >} x＝0，…，3 , each state is chosen with probability p 1 ;

[0059] The eight states of the outer ring are expressed as: {|α x >=|α 2 e i(x-4)π / 4 >} x＝4，…，11 , each state is chosen with probability p 2 ;

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of quantum key distribution, and discloses a discrete modulation continuous variable quantum key distribution state modulation and key mapping method, which comprises the following steps that: a sending end randomly selects one state from a single-ring constellation with eight coherent states or a double-ring constellation with twelve coherent states and sends the one state to a receiving end through a quantum channel, the receiving end performs heterodyne detection on the received quantum state, divides a phase space into eight areas or twelve areas, and maps a result into a corresponding discretization value according to the area where the detection result is located to obtain an original key string; and a safe secret key is obtained through data error correction and a private amplification program. According to the method, the key rate of discrete modulation continuous variable quantum key distribution can be improved. By preparing a small number of coherent states, the key rate close to the Gaussian modulation condition is realized, the complexity of source end quantum state preparation is effectively reduced, the data post-processing process is simplified, and high-speed and low-cost continuous variable quantum key distribution in a metropolitan area range is facilitated.
