Abstract

We describe our progress on achieving quantum key distribution with high photon efficiency and high rate using hyperentanglement. Methods of securing time-bin states and classical error correction appropriate for our high-dimension protocols will be discussed.

QKD Based on Time-Entangled Photons and Its Key-Rate Promise

Lara Dolecek, Emina Soljanin

For secure practical systems, quantum key distribution (QKD) must provide high key rates over long distances. Time-entanglement-based QKD promises to increase the secret key rate and distribution distances compared to other QKD implementations. This article describes the major steps in QKD protocols, focusing on the nascent QKD technology based on high-dimensional time-bin entangled photons. We overview state-of-the-art from the information and coding theory perspective. In particular, we discuss the key rate loss due to single-photon detector imperfections. We hope the open questions posed and discussed in this paper will inspire information and coding theorists to contribute to and impact fledgling quantum applications and influence future quantum communication systems.
