Polarization Multiplexing CV-QKD with Polarization Drift Pre-Compensation

Margarida Almeida, Íris Guilherme, Armando N. Pinto +1 more

Practical implementations of Continuous Variable (CV) Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) systems can be performed over the existing optical fiber telecommunication infrastructure. However, optical fibers suffer from random variations in the state of polarization affecting the performance of the system. In this work, we study the impact of the polarization drift on the performance of a CV-QKD setup with a polarization diversity receiver, in which the polarization drift is pre-compensated on Alice’s side. We show that pre-compensating for the polarization drift can successfully realign Alice’s and Bob’s raw signal, without affecting the excess noise, up to a polarization drift variance of 10−10, compatible with most practical implementations.

Polarization compensation for entanglement-based quantum key distribution

Sijie Yin, Tian-Wang Luo, Wenjuan Jiang +6 more

In quantum key distribution (QKD) systems using polarization entanglement, channel polarization perturbations significantly compromise both efficiency and security. To address the slow response and instability of current entanglement-based polarization compensation techniques for entanglement-based quantum key distribution, we propose a polarization compensation scheme based on an adaptive gradient descent algorithm. The system's performance is tested over a 10 km single-sided fiber channel. Results show that this scheme maintains long-term stability of the polarization state under both random and periodic perturbations. The average compensation time is 248 ms, with an entanglement source average visibility of 83.43% and an average quantum error rate of 8.28%. This method effectively mitigates polarization perturbation in entanglement-based quantum key distribution (QKD). These results are pivotal for the development of long-distance, multi-node quantum communication networks.
