crystal. When one beam of the generated EPR-entangled beams is distributed over 20 km of single-mode fiber, 1.02 dB quantum entanglement can still be measured. The degradation of CV quantum entanglement in a noisy fiber channel is theoretically analyzed considering the effect of depolarized guided acoustic wave Brillouin scattering in optical fibers. The theoretical prediction is in good agreement with the experimental results.

We report the first continuous-variable quantum key distribution experiment that enables the generation of secure key over a 60 km fiber channel with locally generated local oscillator. This is achieved by controlling the excess noise using machine learning for phase noise compensation while operating the system at a low modulation variance

Experimental research on continuous variable quantum key distribution in fiber channel

GuiBao Dai, Qing Pan, Jianru Li +2 more

The use of quantum key distribution for encryption to realize the secure transmission of information is a research hotspot in the field of secure communication. In theory, it has a high degree of security with quantum mechanics as a guarantee. In particular, continuous variable quantum key distribution has the advantages of simple quantum state preparation, relatively high key rate and low detector cost, so it has attracted wide attention from all over the world. However, the continuous variable quantum key distribution will be affected by factors such as fiber type and fiber attenuation when it is transmitted in the fiber channel. Therefore, a large number of experimental tests must be carried out in the fiber channel before the quantum key distribution device is connected to the optical network. Therefore, this paper conducted continuous quantum key distribution experiments in different lengths of terrestrial optical fiber G.652D and submarine optical fiber G.654D. Among them, the quantum key generation rate reaches an average of 10kbit/s, and the quantum error rate is within 10%. As the distance increases, the variance of the transmission coefficient and the shot noise becomes smaller and the amplitude of the excess noise fluctuation becomes larger. The negotiation efficiency is above 92.44%. The experimental results show that continuous quantum key distribution has good compatibility in both G.652D and G.654D fibers. The experimental data provides a large amount of data support for subsequent research on the access of quantum key distribution equipment to optical networks.

Experimental investigation of transmission characteristics of continuous variable entangled state over optical fibers

Continuous variable (CV) quantum entanglement is an essential resource for quantum computation and communication protocols. The use of CV quantum entanglement at a telecommunication wavelength of 1.5m in combination with existing fiber telecommunication networks offers the possibility to implement long-distance quantum communication protocols like quantum key distribution (QKD) and applications such as quantum repeaters, quantum teleportation in the future. In spite of the fact that the optical power attenuation of light in a standard telecommunication fiber is lowest at a wavelength of 1.5m, the entangled states will interact with fiber channels and the disentanglement will occur. It is one of the important factors restricting the development of long distance quantum information. In this paper, CV entangled state at 1.5m telecommunication band is obtained by using a type-II periodically poled KTP (PPKTP) crystal inside a nondegenerate optical parametric amplifier (NOPA). A wedged PPKTP is used for implementing frequency-down-conversion of the pump field to generate the optically entangled state and achieving the dispersion compensation between the pump and the subharmonic waves. By controlling the temperature and the length of the PPKTP crystal, a triply resonant optical parametric oscillator with a threshold of 80 mW is realized. Einstein-PodolskyRosen (EPR)-entangled beams with quantum correlation of 8.3 dB for both the amplitude and phase quadratures are experimentally generated by using a single NOPA at a pump power of 40 mW and an injected signal power of 10 mW when the relative phase between the pump and injected signal is locked to . The generated entangled state is coupled into a single-mode optical fiber, and the transmission characteristics of the generated EPR entangled beams through standard single-mode fibers are investigated experimentally and theoretically. A fiber polarization controller is used to compensate for the polarization state variation induced by random fluctuations of birefringence of the single mode fiber when the light propagates along the fiber, and to keep the polarization of light linear at the fiber output. A 0.21 dB quantum entanglement could still be observed for the EPR-entangled beams transmitted through a 50-km-long single-mode fiber. The theoretical prediction considering the excess noise in fiber channel is in good agreement with the experimental result. The generated CV quantum entanglement is highly suitable for the required experiments, such as CV measurement-device-independence QKD based on standard fibers, owing to the fact that the tolerance of the excess noise in the quantum channel can be enhanced significantly with respect to a coherent state if EPR-entangled beams are used.

Witnessing effective entanglement over a 2km fiber channel

Christoffer Wittmann, Josef Fürst, Carlos Wiechers +4 more

We present a fiber-based continuous-variable quantum key distribution system. In the scheme, a quantum signal of two non-orthogonal weak optical coherent states is sent through a fiber-based quantum channel. The receiver simultaneously measures conjugate quadratures of the light using two homodyne detectors. From the measured Q-function of the transmitted signal, we estimate the attenuation and the excess noise caused by the channel. The estimated excess noise originating from the channel and the channel attenuation including the quantum efficiency of the detection setup is investigated with respect to the detection of effective entanglement. The local oscillator is considered in the verification. We witness effective entanglement with a channel length of up to 2 km.
