Ultra Broadband Entanglement Analysis for High-Speed Quantum Key Distribution in Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexed Networks

Abstract

Using broadband entangled photons at a telecom wavelength we measure dispersion in our fiber interferometers and counteract it by properly unbalancing the interferometers. Our scheme allows to increase bit rates in wavelength demultiplexed networks.

Experimental wavelength-multiplexed entanglement-based quantum cryptography

Johannes Pseiner, Lukas Achatz, Lukas Bulla +2 more

Abstract In state-of-the-art quantum key distribution systems, the main limiting factor in increasing the key generation rate is the timing resolution in detecting photons. Here, we present and experimentally demonstrate a strategy to overcome this limitation, also for high-loss and long-distance implementations. We exploit the intrinsic wavelength correlations of entangled photons using wavelength multiplexing to generate a quantum secure key from polarization entanglement. The presented approach can be integrated into both fiber- and satellite-based quantum-communication schemes, without any changes to most types of entanglement sources. This technique features a huge scaling potential allowing to increase the secure key rate by several orders of magnitude as compared to non-multiplexed schemes.

Multiplexed entangled photon-pair sources for all-fiber quantum networks

Zhi‐Yuan Zhou, Yin‐Hai Li, Lixin Xu +2 more

The ultimate goal of quantum information science is to build a global quantum network, which enables quantum resources to be distributed and shared between remote parties. Such a quantum network can be realized using only fiber elements, thus deriving the advantages of low transmission loss, low cost, scalability, and integrability through mature fiber communication techniques such as dense wavelength division multiplexing. Hence high-quality entangled-photon sources based on fibers are in high demand. Here we report multiplexed polarization- and time-bin-entangled photon-pair sources based on the dispersion-shifted fiber operating at room temperature. The associated high quality of entanglement is characterized using interference, Bell’s inequality, and quantum state tomography. The simultaneous presence of both types of entanglement in multi-channel pairs of a 100-GHz dense wavelength division multiplexing device indicates a great capacity in distributing entangled photons over multiple users. Our design provides a versatile platform and takes a big step toward constructing an all-fiber quantum network.
