Quantum key distribution using single photon added-subtracted squeezed coherent state

Y. Oulouda, Mohammed El Falaki, Daoud, Mohamed

In this paper we investigate the security of continuous variable BB84 quantum key distribution protocol using single photon added then subtracted squeezed coherent state SPASSCS. It's found that the SPASSCS is a non-Gaussian and nonclassical state. Its non-Gaussianity and non-classicality are exhibited via the Wigner function. It's shown that the proposed state is generally robust against the eavesdropping strategies, such as intercept-resend attack and superior channel attack. Further, a comparative study has proved the strong efficiency of the proposed state over coherent state, squeezed coherent state and photon added then subtracted coherent state. Our analysis employs bit error rate, mutual information, and secure key gain.

Enabling CV-MDI-QKD for weakly squeezed states using non-Gaussian operations

Farsad Ahmad, Aeysha Khalique, Aeysha Khalique

Abstract We propose a new non-Gaussian version of the continuous variables measurement device independent quantum key distribution (CV-MDI-QKD) protocol by utilizing a photon added-then-subtracted (PAS) state. We report that our single and two-mode PAS-CV-MDI-QKD protocols outperform pure state CV-MDI-QKD protocol when considering weak squeezing and high noise, which is the practical regime. With such resources, CV-MDI-QKD is inaccessible when using a pure TMSV state, while PAS-CV-MDI-QKD can generate a useful key rate in this regime. We also compare PAS-CV-MDI-QKD with a two-mode photon replaced (2PR) state, which was not studied in low squeezing for MDI-QKD before.

Improving Eight-State Continuous Variable Quantum Key Distribution by Applying Photon Subtraction

Qingquan Peng, Xiaodong Wu, Ying Guo

We propose a new method to effectively improve the performance of a quantum key distribution with eight-state continuous variables by the photon subtraction method. This operation is effective in increasing and distilling Gaussian entanglement between quantum states, and can be easily realized by existing technology. Simulation results show that the channel-loss tolerance of the eight-state continuous variable quantum key distribution (CVQKD) protocol can be extended by the appropriate photon subtraction algorithm; namely, single-photon subtraction.
