[0048] Some embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0049] In order to improve the key generation rate, the embodiment of the present invention provides a quantum key distribution system under a free space channel, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is one of the structural diagrams of the quantum key distribution system provided by the embodiment of the present invention. The quantum key distribution system includes a transmitting device 10 and a receiving device 20, and the transmitting device 10 is provided with one or more quantum state transmitters 101. Figure 1 In the example, the transmitting device 10 is provided with one quantum state transmitter 101, that is, the first quantum state transmitter 101. When the transmitting device 10 is provided with M quantum state transmitters 101, it can be represented as the jth quantum state transmitter 101, 1≤j≤M. The receiving device 20 is provided with N quantum state receivers 201, which can be represented as the i-th quantum state receiver 201, where 1≤i≤N.
[0050] The transmitting device 10 and the receiving device 20 are communicatively connected via a classical channel.
[0051] The transmitting device 10 is used to control the first quantum state transmitter 101 to transmit quantum light in a free space channel according to the first transmitting side random state basis.
[0052] The quantum state transmitter 101 can be, but is not limited to, a telescope system of satellite-to-ground free-space QKD.
[0053] Optionally, the quantum key distribution system can be but is not limited to using the polarization BB84 protocol. The polarization BB84 protocol corresponds to the Z basis {0 degrees, 90 degrees} and the X basis {45 degrees, 135 degrees}, and there are a total of 4 polarization states.
[0054] The first emission side random state basis may be a Z basis or an X basis, and the first emission side random state basis may change at different time points. When the first emission side random state basis is a Z basis, the quantum light emitted by the first quantum state emitter 101 is a quantum light in a 0-degree polarization state or a quantum light in a 90-degree polarization state; when the first emission side random state basis is an X basis, the quantum light emitted by the first quantum state emitter 101 is a quantum light in a 45-degree polarization state or a quantum light in a 135-degree polarization state.
[0055] The receiving device 20 is used to control the i-th quantum state receiver 201 to receive quantum light according to the i-th receiving side random state basis, where 1≤i≤N.
[0056] The random state basis of the i-th receiving side may be a Z basis or an X basis, and the random state basis of the i-th receiving side may change at different time points.
[0057] The receiving device 20 is used to transmit the i-th receiving-side random state basis to the transmitting device 10 through a classical channel.
[0058] Optionally, the receiving device 20 transmits the i-th receiving-side random state basis in the current quantum light emission period to the transmitting device 10 through a classical channel.
[0059] The transmitting device 10 is used to feed back the first transmitting side random state base to the receiving device 20 through the classical channel after receiving the i-th receiving side random state base.
[0060] Optionally, the transmitting device 10 feeds back the first transmitting-side random state basis in the current quantum light emission cycle to the receiving device 20 via a classical channel.
[0061] The transmitting device 10 and the receiving device 20 can determine whether the first transmitting side random state basis and the i-th receiving side random state basis in the current quantum light emission cycle are the same. If they are the same, it means that the i-th quantum state receiver 201 can successfully and accurately obtain the quantum light emitted by the first quantum state transmitter 101 in the current quantum light emission cycle, and can generate a quantum key based on it. The specific process is as follows.
[0062] When the first transmitting side random state base is the same as the i-th receiving side random state base, the transmitting device 10 is used to generate the current quantum key based on the quantum light emitted by the first quantum state transmitter 101, and the receiving device 20 is used to generate the current quantum key based on the quantum light received by the i-th quantum state receiver 201.
[0063] Among them, the current quantum key is the quantum key corresponding to the quantum light in the current quantum light emission period.
[0064] Taking the polarization BB84 protocol as an example, it is assumed that the receiving device 20 is provided with two quantum state receivers 201, namely the first quantum state receiver 201 and the second quantum state receiver 201. The first quantum state transmitter 101 is named Alice, the first quantum state receiver 201 is named Bob, and the second quantum state receiver 201 is named Charlie. In the current quantum light emission cycle, Alice, Bob, and Charlie independently and randomly select one of the X basis or the Z basis, and the selection probability is 50%.
[0065] According to the protocol rules, when the basis vector of the photon sent by Alice is the same as the measurement basis vector selected by Bob / Charlie, the basis matching is successful, and the key can be successfully generated in this case. When the basis vector sent by Alice is different from that of Bob and Charlie, the basis matching fails, and the key cannot be generated in this case. The specific basis selection is as follows in Table 1:
[0066] Table 1
[0067] Alice Bob Charlie Can a key be generated? X X X Can X X Z Can X Z X Can X Z Z no Z X X no Z X Z Can Z Z X Can Z Z Z Can
[0068] As can be seen from Table 1, there are 8 base selection situations for Alice, Bob, and Charlie, and the probability of these 8 situations occurring is the same. There are 6 situations in total that can successfully generate keys, so the probability of successfully generating keys is 75%.
[0069] For a single receiving end mechanism, the basis is as follows in Table 2:
[0070] Table 2
[0071] Alice Bob Can a key be generated? X X Can X Z no Z X no Z Z Can
[0072] As can be seen from Table 2, there are 4 base selection situations for Alice and Bob, and the probability of these 4 situations occurring is the same. There are 2 situations in total that can successfully generate keys, so the probability of successfully generating keys is 50%.
[0073] It can be seen from the above two tables that, assuming that the efficiency of multiple receiving ends is the same as that of a single receiving end, the base matching success rate of the single receiving end scheme is 50%, and the base matching success rate of the dual receiving end scheme is 75%. The dual receiving end scheme increases the key generation rate.
[0074] In an optional embodiment, when the first transmitting side random state base is the same as the i-th receiving side random state base, the transmitting device 10 is used to look up the quantum light and key mapping information, and determine the quantum key that matches the quantum light emitted by the first quantum state transmitter 101 as the current quantum key; the receiving device 20 is used to look up the quantum light and key mapping information, and determine the quantum key that matches the quantum light received by the i-th quantum state receiver 201 as the current quantum key.
[0075] Optionally, when the first transmitting-side random state basis is different from all receiving-side random state bases, the transmitting device 10 and the receiving device 20 fail to determine the basis, and the current quantum light emission cycle does not generate a quantum key.
[0076] In order to further improve the probability of generating quantum keys, the present invention also provides an optional implementation method, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 The second structural diagram of the quantum key distribution system provided by the embodiment of the present invention.

[0077] The transmitting device 10 is used to control the jth quantum state transmitter 101 to transmit quantum light in a free space channel according to the jth transmitting side random state basis within the jth interval of the current quantum light emission cycle.
[0078] The current quantum light emission cycle is divided into M intervals. In the current quantum light emission cycle, the M quantum state emitters 101 are time-division multiplexed according to the intervals, and only one quantum state emitter 101 works in each interval.
[0079] The receiving device 20 is used to control the i-th quantum state receiver 201 to receive quantum light in the j-th interval according to the i-th receiving side random state basis, where 1≤j≤M.
[0080] In each interval, the N quantum state receivers 201 need to remain in working state.
[0081] The receiving device 20 is used to transmit the i-th receiving-side random state basis corresponding to the j-th interval to the transmitting device 10 through the classical channel.
[0082] After receiving the i-th receiving-side random state base corresponding to the j-th interval, the transmitting device 10 feeds back the j-th transmitting-side random state base to the receiving device 20 through the classical channel.
[0083] When the random state basis of the i-th receiving side corresponding to the j-th interval is the same as the random state basis of the j-th transmitting side, the transmitting device 10 is used to generate the quantum key of the j-th interval based on the quantum light emitted by the j-th quantum state transmitter 101 in the j-th interval; the receiving device 20 is used to generate the quantum key of the j-th interval based on the quantum light received by the i-th quantum state receiver 201 in the j-th interval.

The second controller 202 is connected to the N quantum state receivers 201 respectively, and the second controller 202 is connected to the transmitting device 10 through classical channel communication.
[0087] Optionally, the second controller 202 is communicatively connected to the first controller 102 via a classical channel.
[0088] Optionally, the M quantum state transmitters 101 and the N quantum state receivers 201 are time synchronized at preset periodic intervals.

[0092] Among them, 1≤i≤N.
