Terahertz Continuous‐Variable Measurement‐Device‐Independent Quantum key Distribution with Photon Subtraction in Inter‐Satellite Links Communication

Chengji Liu, Zhe Xu, Xinyu Wan +3 more

Abstract Quantum communication in the terahertz (THz) band is an important technology for next‐generation high‐capacity wireless networks, and inter‐satellite quantum key distribution in low‐earth‐orbit (LEO) is one of the critical research directions. A terahertz continuous‐variable measurement‐device‐independent quantum key distribution (CV‐MDI‐QKD) with photon subtraction for secure inter‐satellite link communications, derive the security bounds for the protocol, is proposed and the performance of the inter‐satellite link in the asymptotic limit, in addition to obtaining a tighter protocol bound by considering finite size effects, is evaluated. Through simulation calculations, the method can maintain high secret key rates and robust security, which will provide a more effective way to build future quantum networks.

Multicarrier Multiplexing Continuous-Variable Quantum Key Distribution at Terahertz Bands Under Indoor Environment and in Inter-Satellite Links Communication

Chengji Liu, Changhua Zhu, Xiao Liu +3 more

We propose a continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CVQKD) scheme at terahertz (THz) bands based on multicarrier multiplexing (MCM) technology. In this scheme, multiple Gaussian modulated subcarriers are coupled to transmit multipath superposed thermal Gaussian states. At the receiver, optical discrete Fourier transform (ODFT) is used to demultiplex the received subcarriers, and the keys can be generated in parallel by homodyne detection and post processing. We analyze the security of the scheme against the optimal collective Gaussian attack under indoor environment and in inter-satellite links respectively. Results indicate that by using MCM technology, each subchannel may be affected by crosstalk, resulting in slight shortening of the maximal transmission distance while the total secret key rate can be greatly increased. We also verify the feasibility of higher key rate and longer distance THz-QKD by using MCM technology in inter-satellite links communication. We expect this work will provide an efficient path to build a global quantum communication network.
