Abstract

We describe our progress on achieving quantum key distribution with high photon efficiency and high rate using hyperentanglement. Our goal is encode 10 bits per photon and distribute a secure key at 1 Gbit/s.

Experimental Quantum Key Distribution at 1.3 Gbit/s Secret-Key Rate over a 10-dB-Loss Channel

Zheshen Zhang, Changchen Chen, Quntao Zhuang +3 more

We demonstrate quantum key distribution at 1.3-Gbit/s secret-key rates over a 10-dB-loss channel. By transmitting many photons per bit with multi-mode encoding our protocol overcomes channel loss to achieve gigabit-per-second rates without compromising security.

Quantum key distribution based on hyperentanglement swapping

Feng Fa-Yong, Qiang Zhang, 中国科学技术大学近代物理系，合肥 230026

We present a quantum key distribution scheme based on hyperentanglement swapping, which can simultaneously generate deterministic and random keys without the loss of security. The scheme only requires two\|photon states entangled both in spatial (path) and polarization modes, and such a photon pair can create 4 bit of secure keys (2 bit of random keys and 2 bit of deterministic keys). Our protocol can be implemented with linear optics under current technology.

Quantum key distribution using polarization and frequency hyperentangled photons

Chuan Xi Wang, Xiao Li, Wanying Wang +2 more

We propose a two-step quantum key distribution protocol using frequency and polarization hyperentangled photons. In this protocol, key information is encoded by unitary operations on the hyperentangled photons, and the hyperentangled photons are sent in two steps. We also designed a state measurement device and analyzed the security of the protocol.

Advanced Quantum Communication Protocols

Paul G. Kwiat

We have realized the first demonstration of "relativistic" quantum cryptography, using both faint laser pulses and entangled photons. By incorporating an optical delay cavity, Bob is able to measure every photon from Alice in the correct basis, leading to enhanced key rates, as well as some security advantages. We have also implemented our proposal for a high-speed quantum random number generator, in which the arrival time of a detected photon is used to generate -8 random bits per photon. Our system produced cryptographically secure bits at over 4 Mbits/s, with a clear path toward even higher rates. In addition, we solved a number of technical problems to produce 99%-fidelity polarization-entangled pairs from a diode-laser pumped source. Extending our previous implementation of remote state preparation, we have incorporated hyperentanglement to successfully remotely prepare entangled states. Finally, we studied the use of hyperentangled photons as a resource for improved quantum dense coding. Although our experimental verification is still in progress, we identified the theoretically optimal configuration, and compared hyperentangled and multi-pair encoding.
