The invention provides a high-speed continuous variable quantum key distribution system and a bit frame synchronization method thereof. The bit frame synchronization method comprises the following steps: Step one, a sender generates a set of special data used as a synchronous frame; Step two, the sender sends a coherent state to a receiver through a quantum channel; Step three, the receiver uses a balance homodyne detector to measure the displacement component of the coherent state; Step four, the receiver selects an appropriate alternate voltage determining threshold and a frame synchronization segment determining threshold to determine the synchronous frame according to structure information of the special data acquired through a classical channel in Step one; and Step five, synchronization fails if the receiver does not search the synchronous frame in the specified time, and the receiver needs to adjust the value of the alternate voltage determining threshold and the value of the frame synchronization segment determining threshold and reestablishes communication. According to the invention, the interference of external environmental factors to synchronization signals in the process of quantum key distribution can be effectively overcome, and synchronization between both sides of communication can be realized.

In the present work, quantum clustering is extended to provide a dynamical approach for data clustering using a time-dependent Schrödinger equation. To expedite computations, we can approximate the time-dependent Hamiltonian formalism by a truncated calculation within a set of Gaussian wave-functions (coherent states) centered around the original points. This allows for analytic evaluation of the time evolution of all such states, opening up the possibility of exploration of relationships among data points through observation of varying dynamical-distances among points and convergence of points into clusters. This formalism may be further supplemented by preprocessing, such as dimensional reduction through singular value decomposition and/or feature filtering. Additionally, the parameters of the analysis can be modified in order to improve the efficiency of the dynamic quantum clustering processes.

A sender performs Gaussian modulation on initial continuous key data by using the coherent state and then sends the modulated signals to a receiver through an optical fiber channel; and the receiver performs preprocessing, error corrosion and confidentiality enhancement on the acquired initial continuous key data by using an algorithm based on orthogonal basis expansion so as to acquire the final security key. According to the method, the practical use of the continuous variable quantum cryptography is prompted, and environmental interference and human attack affected by the quantum signals in the quantum communication process can also be effectively suppressed.

A database management and indexing technique provides coherent access to and update of dynamic configuration information stored in a database associated with a multiprocessing environment of an aggregation router. The multiprocessing environment comprises a forwarding engine configured as a computing matrix of processors that operate on packets in a parallel as well as a pipeline fashion. A unique handle, i.e., a virtual common coherency index (VCCI) value, is associated with an interface regardless of whether it is a virtual or a physical interface. When a packet enters the computing matrix, it is classified and assigned a VCCI value based upon the interface over which it is received at or transmitted from the router. The assigned VCCI value is then passed along with the packet to each feature that processes the packet.

In this statement, realization of “Non-volatile molecular multiple quantum bit (NVQB)” is described. NVQB is the long-term macroscopic time scale analogue of MMQB. To realize NVQB, while inverted population of the gas is kept, entanglement generation and coherent state keeping must be carried out for a long-term quantum computation. Operating principle of molecular quantum computer is entanglement generation among huge-number of molecular ro-vibronic eigenstates by emission and absorption of photons due to the Fermi golden rule. Each single photon generated in induced absorption and induced emission sews many quantum states of many molecules by the Fermi golden rule. This results entanglement. When NVQB is realized, NVQB is not only used as “quantum storage device” up to 2^Na, but also NVQB itself makes practical reasonable commercial molecular quantum computer be realized at once. NVQB is an alias of long-term successfully operating molecular quantum computer.
